Sustained reduction in abdominal fat preserves cognitive function
A groundbreaking long-term MRI study demonstrates that lower accumulation of abdominal fat (visceral fat), measured throughout the entire follow-up period, is associated with a significant slowing of brain atrophy, preservation of key brain structures, and better cognitive performance in late midlife – independent of weight loss. The findings suggest that the relationship between abdominal fat and brain aging is likely mediated primarily through…
Sustained loss of visceral fat, rather than weight, is linked to improved cognitive performance, slowing brain atrophy, and long-term preservation of key brain structures, according to a study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Israel), along with researchers from Harvard University, Tulane University (USA) and Leipzig University (Germany).Read more]]>
