Description
Where fat sits in the body may matter for the brain in older adults with type 2 diabetes, and Ethel Boccara and co-authors test that idea by sex in this 2025 study. Body mass index says nothing about fat around organs, which differs between men and women. The study used belly scans to measure liver, pancreas, and deep belly fat.
Just over one hundred participants took thinking tests, and about half also had brain scans. Across the whole group, more pancreas fat came close to tracking with weaker overall thinking. In men, but not in women, high pancreas fat linked clearly to lower scores. The authors frame fat distribution as a sex-specific piece of the diabetes-brain puzzle.
