Reply to comment by True_Garen in Obesity Is Now the Top Modifiable Dementia Risk Factor in the US (July 2022) by True_Garen

This is behind a paywall so I can't read the actual study. Are they saying that those they count as obese ARE physically active? I would assume a large portion of those who are obese would also be physically inactive and therefore physically activity would still be higher.

Obesity and inactivity will have high comorbidity, but won't have a 1:1 correlation, so their independent effects can still be teased out.
