The brains of obese people age more rapidly than those of thinner people in middle age, research by the University of Cambridge has found.

Image source, Science Photo Library

Academics observed that the brains of obese people display differences in white matter similar to those in leaner individuals 10 years older. 

White matter is the tissue that connects areas of the brain and allows information to be communicated between regions.

Human brains naturally shrink with age, but scientists are increasingly recognising that obesity - already linked to conditions such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease - may also affect the onset and progression of brain ageing.

Candidates were recruited by the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience and the results are published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, external.

Danny Warby, 28, of School Road, Runcton Holme, King's Lynn, was found guilty of causing Sharon Garrett's death.

PC Pete Bimson, who investigated the collision, said: "This was a tragic incident... but the evidence heard in court showed it could have been avoided and it really drives home the message that using a mobile phone at the wheel can have fatal consequences.

"Driving while using a phone is one of the 'fatal four' driving offences, along with speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and drink or drug driving, for a very good reason: it can devastate lives."Mrs Garrett, 48, joined Cambridgeshire Constabulary in 1991 and served in a number of roles across the force, most recently investigating complex fraud offences in the economic crime unit.

In a statement, the family of Sharon Garrett said: "We would like to express our thanks to the officers involved in the investigation, the prosecution team and of course the jury in reaching this verdict. "The whole family remains devastated by what happened in June 2014. Sharon was a wonderful woman, a hard-working and dedicated police officer. She meant so much to so many... words can never express how much we all miss her." 

Warby has been remanded in custody until sentencing on 12 September at a venue to be fixed.
