Deep belly fat could predict Alzheimer's disease decades ahead of symptoms

  • People who are obese with deep belly fat have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease-specific proteins in the brain up to 20 years before symptoms appear, a new study suggests.
  • The study found that higher levels of visceral fat are related to increased beta-amyloid accumulation, which accounts for 77% of the effect of high BMI on this protein accumulation.
  • Researchers stated that knowing visceral obesity negatively affects the brain emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications for improved late-life brain health.
