 The text discusses how people who carry a lot of fat around their middles are three and a half times more likely to develop memory loss and dementia in old age. Research shows that people with abdominal fat have lower levels of protein that controls liver metabolism, which can lead to memory loss. Additionally, the brain's memory center is also affected by abdominal fat. The article highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle to reduce the risk of dementia.
