As mentioned above, abdominal fat is linked with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Specifically it is the deepest layer of belly fat (the fat that cannot be seen or grabbed) that poses health risks, as these "visceral" fat cells produce hormones that can affect health (e.g. increased insulin resistance and/or breast cancer risk).
A specific type of body fat — visceral fat — around the midsection has been linked to the abnormal proteins that develop in the brain and are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s, according to findings ...
Corpus callosum lipoma is a rare congenital brain condition that may or may not present with symptoms. [11] This occurs in the corpus callosum, also known as the calossal commissure, which is a wide, flat bundle of neural fibers beneath the cortex in the human brain. Hibernomas are lipomas of brown fat.
Android fat distribution describes the distribution of human adipose tissue mainly around the trunk and upper body, in areas such as the abdomen, chest, shoulder and nape of the neck. [1] This pattern may lead to an "triangle"-shaped body or central obesity , and is more common in males than in females.
The authors argue that their findings suggest excess fat could increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease due to inflammation in the brain, and that reducing fat and obesity in midlife could ...
Abdominal fat is associated with brain health in middle-aged adults with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study. However, this link is more conspicuous in men.
Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent) Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water , protein , fats (or lipids ), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such ...
They found that people with more belly fat (central obesity), or more upper arm fat (arm-dominant fat distribution) had an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders.
