Not to cite anecdotal evidence, but my father-in-law was skinny as a rail and got severe, early-onset Alzheimer's. Obesity might be one potential cause of Alzheimer's, but it's among many.

Yep, just like there are skinny as rails type 2 diabetics. My grandfather was one.

There is also a huge correlation between obesity and type 2 diabetes as well.

I imagine they share similarities, but that’s pure speculation.
