Description
Mahsa Dolatshahi and a large team used a special brain imaging method in two thousand twenty-five to link belly fat in midlife to signs of brain inflammation. Midlife obesity raises Alzheimer's risk, but whether it ties to brain inflammation was unclear. Fifty-four cognitively normal middle-aged adults had brain and belly scans at a strong field strength.
The imaging method splits water motion in tissue into parts that hint at cell swelling, fibre loss, and fluid build-up. Belly fat depots, both deep and under the skin, were measured by hand-checked software. Comparing obese and non-obese adults, and high versus low belly fat, tests whether fat tracks with brain tissue changes tied to inflammation.
