Fat distribution impacts brain health more than obesity
A recent study has revealed that the distribution of fat in the body, especially visceral fat surrounding internal organs, poses a greater risk to brain health and the likelihood of developing dementia than body weight or BMI itself. The study showed that visceral fat causes damage to the white matter in the brain, which is responsible for transmitting nerve signals, thereby increasing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. The researchers clarified that reducing the accumulation of this fat through a targeted lifestyle approach can be an effective way to prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
