Exploring the Connection Between Visceral Fat and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a growing global health issue, exacerbated by aging populations and a lack of definitive treatments.[1] Recent studies, including those by Dolatshahi et al. (2024), have highlighted a potential link between visceral fat and AD.
