Abdominal fat distribution and its relationship to brain changes: the differential effects of age on cerebellar structure and function: a cross-sectional, exploratory study by Yvonne Böttcher, Michael Stumvoll, Kees Straatman, Matthias Raschpichler, Matthias Leopold Schroeter, Katrin Arelin, Haiko Schlögl, Dominik Fritzsch, Meinhard Mende, André Pampel, Arno Villringer, Karsten Mueller

“…Investigating functional brain architecture showed again inverse VAT–cerebellum correlations, whereas now regions involved in cognitive and emotional processing were significant. Although we detected similar results for EC using BMI, significant age interaction for both brain structure and functional architecture was only found using VAT.Conclusions Visceral adiposity is associated with cerebellar changes of both structure and function, whereas the regions involved contribute to motor, cognitive and emotional processes. …”
