Fat buried deep within the belly can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, according to research released from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) on Monday.
Visceral fat, which surrounds the internal organs in the belly, has been linked to brain changes that could point to future dementia in people as young as 50, up to 15 years before symptoms appear, as noted in a press release from RSNA. Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The findings, published in the journal Aging and Disease, will be presented at the RSNA’s annual meeting next week.
