Neurologist Explains Link Between Visceral Fat and Cognitive Decline Risk
Top neurologist Dr Sudhir Kumar highlights the link between visceral fat—deep abdominal fat surrounding organs—and cognitive decline, including memory loss and increased dementia risk. Unlike subcutaneous fat, visceral fat releases inflammatory chemicals harmful to brain cells. Research associates higher visceral fat with poorer executive function and slower information processing. Dr Kumar emphasizes that visceral fat is modifiable through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, making waist circumference a key health indicator for brain health alongside metabolic conditions.
