Abdominal fat distribution and its relationship to brain changes: the differential effects of age on cerebellar structure and function: a cross-sectional, exploratory study by Yvonne Böttcher, Michael Stumvoll, Kees Straatman, Matthias Raschpichler, Matthias Leopold Schroeter, Katrin Arelin, Haiko Schlögl, Dominik Fritzsch, Meinhard Mende, André Pampel, Arno Villringer, Karsten Mueller

“…Objectives To investigate whether the metabolically important visceral adipose tissue (VAT) relates differently to structural and functional brain changes in comparison with body weight measured as body mass index (BMI). Moreover, we aimed to investigate whether these effects change with age.Design Cross-sectional, exploratory.Setting University Clinic, Integrative Research and Treatment Centre.Participants We included 100 (mean BMI=26.0 kg/m², 42 women) out of 202 volunteers randomly invited by the city's registration office, subdivided into two age groups: young-to-mid-age (n=51, 20–45 years of age, mean BMI=24.9, 24 women) versus old (n=49, 65–70 years of age, mean BMI=27.0, 18 women).Main outcome measures VAT, BMI, subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, brain structure (grey matter density), functional brain architecture (eigenvector centrality, EC).Results We discovered a loss of cerebellar structure with increasing VAT in the younger participants, most significantly in regions involved in motor processing. …”
