Belly fat linked to signs of Alzheimer’s 20 years before symptoms begin, study says
Belly fat, also known as visceral fat, may contribute to brain atrophy and early markers of Alzheimer’s disease, new research found.
Belly fat could predict Alzheimer's 20 years before symptoms show, study finds
A new study presented at the Radiological Society of North America annual meeting explored the link between obesity and the development of Alzheimer’s.
‘Hidden’ fat could predict Alzheimer’s disease up to 20 years before symptoms, research finds
In the latest Alzheimer’s research, hidden fat in various parts of the body was shown to be an early warning sign of the common dementia — as much as 20 years before symptoms emerged.
Hidden Belly Fat Reveals Alzheimer’s Risk Decades Before Symptoms
Visceral fat has been linked to early Alzheimer’s disease pathology, according to a study of midlife individuals. Researchers found this fat significantly increases amyloid and tau protein accumulation,
Deep Belly Fat May Help Spur Alzheimer's Decades Before Symptoms Begin
Buildup of this visceral fat in middle age may boost levels of the two damaging brain proteins, called amyloid and tau, explained a team led by Dr. Mahsa Dolatshahi, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Actual symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may not arise until many years later.
Deep belly fat could predict Alzheimer's disease decades ahead of symptoms
People who are obese and harbor deep belly fat are at higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease-specific proteins in the brain up to 20 years before the earliest dementia symptoms, a new study suggests.
Having this type of fat common in middle age could predict Alzheimer’s — and it shows up 20 years before early symptoms
New research has established a link between a specific type of body fat and brain proteins that are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.
