Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) acts as the primary contributor to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and potentially hepatocellular carcinoma. The flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum, a traditional edible medicinal herb, have been widely used in China for more than 2000 years. However, the function of C.

Background: Obesity in midlife, body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m or higher, is recognized as a contributor to Alzheimer disease (AD) later in life. Adiposity in visceral tissues such as liver is associated with increased systemic inflammation and impaired cognition. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MRI-derived Positron Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) and brain histology and neuroinflammation using Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging (DBSI) in cognitively normal midlife individuals.

Background: While body mass index (BMI) is widely used to gauge overall adiposity, its accuracy in older age has yielded inconsistent findings. Moreover, BMI does not account for variations in regional fat distribution, which may differ between sexes. This study aims to investigate whether regional adiposity plays a distinct role in impacting cognition and the volumes of AD-related brain regions in older adults with T2D enrolled in the Israel Diabetes and Cognitive Decline (IDCD) study.

Background: High body mass index (BMI), which poorly represents specific fat depots, is linked to poorer cognition and higher dementia risk, with different associations between sexes. We examined associations of abdominal fat depots with cognition and brain volumes and whether sex modifies this association.
Method: 204 healthy middle-aged Alzheimer's-dementia (AD) offspring (mean age = 59.

Background: Obesity in midlife, defined as body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m or higher in those between 40-60 years, is related to higher Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, as a complication of obesity is associated with impaired cognitive function. We investigated the relationship between hepatic fat quantification by use of MRI-derived Positron Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) and brain cortical thickness in cognitively normal midlife individuals.
