It's the deep visceral fat around organs that has biggest impact on brain aging, affecting reasoning, memory and processing speed. This adds more evidence to doing away with body mass index (BMI) – judging weight and height alone – as an accurate marker of brain health (and health more broadly). 🧠⚖️💪

🧠 New UGA research links higher body mass index (BMI) to faster cognitive decline, impacting memory and executive functions like planning and concentration.
📈 A unit increase in BMI correlated with quicker brain health decline. The strongest link was found at year eight of the study, particularly in adults over 65.
⚖️ Managing weight could significantly reduce cognitive decline rates in just two years, making BMI a key modifiable risk factor for healthy aging.
