Abdominal fat tied to reduced brain function in middle-aged men at high dementia risk
Higher abdominal fat, particularly around the pancreas, appears to contribute to lower cognition and brain volumes among middle-aged men at high risk of Alzheimer’s dementia, reports a study. This suggests a possible sex-specific link between distinct abdominal fat and brain health.
Body fat percentage changes predict diabetes remission after bariatric surgery
Changes in body fat percentage (BFP) are significantly associated with diabetes remission after bariatric surgery, suggests a study, noting that baseline fat-free mass index (FFMI) is vital for BFP changes.
Semaglutide benefits extend to HFpEF patients with T2D
The weight loss and heart failure (HF) benefits of semaglutide extend to patients with obesity-related HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the STEP-HFpEF DM trial, fuelling speculation that semaglutide may have cardiovascular effects beyond weight loss.
Smartphone app helps control blood sugar in people at risk of T2D
Use of a smartphone application (app) and an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) results in better glycaemic control, lower carbohydrate intake, and weight loss in people at increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), reports a study.
