Body Composition Linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Risk

New study reveals that fat distribution and muscle strength influence the likelihood of developing neurodegenerative diseases.

Higher levels of belly and arm fat increase the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Muscle strength, particularly grip strength, offers protective benefits against these diseases.
Researchers emphasize the importance of reducing central obesity and increasing muscle mass.
Study tracked over 400,000 participants for an average of nine years.
Findings suggest cardiovascular health is closely tied to neurodegenerative disease risk.
