The study involved 412,691 people aged around 56 who were followed for an average of nine years. The results showed that, compared with participants with low levels of fat, those with high levels of abdominal fat had a 13% higher risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, and those with a lot of arm fat had an 18% higher risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases in these areas. At the same time, participants with high muscle strength had a 26% lower risk of the disease.
The study also highlights the importance of managing cardiovascular diseases to prevent neurodegenerative disorders.
