The Ageing Adipose Paradox: Implications for Metabolic Health.
Aging causes unhealthy fat changes independent of weight, reframing metabolic risk in older adults beyond simple body mass and guiding targeted interventions.
The ageing adipose paradox — qualitative adipose dysfunction in aging independent of weight — reframes metabolic risk in older adults beyond BMI. Understanding adipose biology shifts could guide targeted interventions for the metabolic complications of healthy ageing.
