Hosted by Dr. Sid Dogra, this episode of the Radiology Podcast
explores new research showing that where fat is distributed in the
body—particularly visceral and organ-specific fat—may matter more
for brain health than overall BMI. Drawing on a large UK Biobank
MRI study, Dr. Dogra discusses how specific fat distribution
patterns, including pancreatic-predominant and “skinny fat”
phenotypes, are associated with accelerated brain aging, cognitive
decline, and increased neurologic disease risk.
