Body Fat Distribution at MRI

Hosted 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.
