Basal metabolic rate predicts dementia

Please do note that there are reasons to think things might actually go in the other direction

So might be something to look into before one tries to increase BMR

See eg

Despite longstanding controversies from animal studies on the relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and longevity, whether BMR is a risk factor for mortality has never been tested in humans. We evaluate the longitudinal changes in BMR and...
