Excess fat without overweight accelerates brain aging

A high percentage of body fat without being overweight could accelerate brain aging. This is reported by an obesity doctor in an interview with HLN.

The term 'skinny fat' refers to people with a normal body weight but a high fat percentage. According to the obesity doctor, this is a worrying trend because weight is not always a good indicator of health.

The doctor emphasizes that a healthy weight does not always mean that the body is healthy. Some people have a normal weight but a high percentage of body fat. This can, according to HLN, lead to accelerated brain aging.
