Visceral adipose tissue to muscle volume ratio

1. Visceral adipose tissue to muscle volume ratio is associated with brain age in humans (rp = 0.3797, p = 3.871e-37).

   “VAT normalized to total muscle volume was linked to higher chronological (rp=0.3755, p = 2.615e-36) and brain age (rp=0.3797, p = 3.871e-37) adjusting for sex.”

   Humansadjusted for sexn = 1,164

   Higher Muscle Volume is Inversely Related to Chronological and Brain Age While Increased Visceral to Muscle Fat Ratio is Positively Related to Chronological and Brain Age · AAIC 2025 abstract · 8 Jan 2026
