Short Arms, Short Memory?

Ok this study is random.

I'm always trying to keep up-to-date with new studies that are being published. I have a few journals that are sent to me as well as a few email newsletters that give a quick synopsis on the study.

In Neurology, a recent American study of 2800 older subjects, concluded that the risk of dementia was significantly higher among women with short arms and legs. In men, only arm length correlated with dementia risk.

A possible explanation suggested by the researchers is that poor nutrition and lack of medical care in childhood might not only produce shorter limbs but also increase the risk of dementia in later life.
