People with higher amounts of visceral abdominal fat in midlife may be at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to research to be presented at the upcoming RSNA meeting. A subset of 32 patients underwent PET imaging to identify any amyloid plaque and tau tangles that would indicate the development of Alzheimer's disease.
