People with fatty muscles face higher heart risks, study finds

People with hidden pockets of fat in their muscles, similar to so-called marbling in beef, are at a higher risk of dying from heart attacks or heart failure regardless of their body weight, according to a study.
Researchers suggest that fat stored in muscles may be contributing to inflammation and insulin resistance, unlike subcutaneous fat stored under the skin.
The study, published in the European Heart Journal, could be important for ongoing studies looking at the heart health effects of fat and muscle-modifying incretin-based therapies, including weight loss jabs.
