Body Fat Distribution at MRI
Apr 1400:10:17Tap to summarizeHosted 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. Association of Body Fat Distribution Patterns at MRI with BrainStructure, Cognition, and Neurologic Diseases. Yu and Yao et al. Radiology 2026; 318(1):e252610.
