A study from the University of California, San Francisco, highlights the negative impact of ultra-processed foods on muscle health, particularly in the thighs, where increased intramuscular fat is linked to a higher risk of knee osteoarthritis. The research, involving over 600 participants, found that a diet high in ultra-processed foods leads to more fat in thigh muscles, regardless of calorie intake or physical activity. This fat accumulation may contribute to the onset of osteoarthritis and is associated with other chronic diseases due to its role in increasing visceral fat. The study suggests reducing ultra-processed food consumption to improve musculoskeletal and overall health.

A study from Washington University in St. Louis has found a strong link between visceral fat and Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that deep belly fat could predict Alzheimer's risk decades before symptoms appear.

The research indicates that fat distribution, rather than BMI alone, may be a more reliable predictor of Alzheimer's risk. Additionally, the study highlights the role of cholesterol and insulin levels in Alzheimer's development, emphasizing the complex relationship between metabolic health and brain function.
