The link between central adiposity and cognition has been established by indirect measures
such as body mass index (BMI) or waist–hip ratio. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Objectives Excessive visceral fat is associated with greater metabolic fluctuation and
increased risk for dementia in older adults. The aim of the current study is to directly …

There is an intimate body-brain connection in ageing, and obesity is a key risk factor for poor
cardiometabolic health and neurodegenerative conditions. Although research has …

Objective Obesity has been associated with microstructural brain tissue damage. Different
fat compartments demonstrate different metabolic and endocrine behaviors. The aim was to …

Background: Excessive adipose tissue, particularly with a centralized distribution,
propagates hormonal and metabolic disturbance. The detrimental effects of adiposity may …

Visceral fat accumulation is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and
mortality. Visceral fat is a causal risk factor for hypertension and type 2 diabetes, which was …

Objectives To investigate whether total and/or regional adiposity measured by
anthropometry and radiographic studies influences cognitive decline in older adults and …

Context Chronic obesity is associated with several complications, including cognitive
impairment and dementia. However, we have only piecemeal knowledge of the mechanisms …

Background Despite emerging evidence suggesting that visceral fat may play a major role in
obesity-induced neurodegeneration, little evidence exists on the association between …

Background Central adiposity as an indicator of visceral fat is linked to vascular and
metabolic factors that in turn are related to cognitive decline and dementia. Objective To …
