The research indicates that specific body fat distributions, particularly arm-dominant and central obesity patterns, are linked to a heightened risk of Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.
Utilizing data from over 400,000 individuals, this study underscores a significant relationship between body composition patterns and neurodegenerative diseases, challenging prior assumptions about body mass index.
With the help of advanced bioimpedance analysis and MRI data, researchers found that arm-dominant fat distribution is more than just aesthetics; it denotes neurological vulnerability.
Principal component analysis identified distinct body composition patterns, highlighting arm-dominant fat distribution as a key risk factor for developing serious neurological conditions in middle-aged individuals.
