Researchers from The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University in China found that two unusual fat patterns are strongly linked to problems with brain health and thinking ability. The study was published in the journal Radiology and used detailed MRI scans to study fat stored in different parts of the body. Surprisingly, they didn’t have high liver fat, which is something doctors often check for. This helped them develop a new way to classify body fat based on actual data, instead of only using general ideas like BMI or appearance.
