Abstract
Central obesity is linked to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
- Excessive visceral fat tissue accumulation is identified as a risk factor for cognitive impairment.
- Cognitive decline may be associated with central obesity, particularly through the impact of visceral fat.
- The microbiota-gut-brain axis is proposed as a potential mechanism to understand the relationship between central obesity and cognitive health.
