Belly Fat Linked to Signs of Alzheimer’s 20 Years Before Symptoms Begin: Study | WATCH
As the size of a person’s belly grows, the memory center of their brain shrinks and beta amyloid and tau may appear — all of this occurring as early as a person’s 40s and 50s, well before any cognitive decline is apparent,
Deep Belly Fat May Help Spur Alzheimer's Decades Before Symptoms Begin
Our study showed that higher visceral fat was associated with higher PET [scan] levels of the two hallmark pathologic proteins of Alzheimer’s disease -- amyloid and tau,” D
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.
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.
Belly fat could trigger Alzheimer’s 20 years before symptoms show, study suggests
Excessive belly fat may start causing Alzheimer’s disease 20 years before symptoms emerge, new research suggests.
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,
