Body fat linked to brain pressure in new study
NCT ID NCT03144297
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 patients having a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to measure pressure inside the skull. Researchers compared that pressure to each person's body fat percentage, measured using a special machine called a Bod Pod. The goal was to see if higher body fat is linked to higher brain pressure, which could help understand conditions like idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
