New study finds that age-related fat may lead to less effective muscle function

According to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, age-related abdominal fat gain is associated with reduced muscular density. Low muscle density indicates that the muscle contains more fat, which might lead to less effective athletic activity and, as a result, more falls. According to the study, individuals with the most enormous 6-year buildup of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in the belly had significantly poorer muscle density. These findings add to the mounting hazards of fat storage in the body, as VAT accumulation is a preventable risk factor for poor musculoskeletal outcomes linked with ageing.
