Abstract
Resveratrol may provide greater cognitive benefits in individuals with high body mass index (BMI) compared to healthy individuals.
- Cognitive decline is potentially linked to high BMI through mechanisms such as hypertension, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
- Recent research indicates that gut health may influence inflammation in those with high BMI.
- Polyphenols, including resveratrol, may have prebiotic effects that promote gut health.
- These prebiotic effects could mediate anti-inflammatory responses in animal models.
- Improved cognition in high BMI individuals may be supported by these mechanisms.
