  1. Tea is associated with basal ganglia magnetic susceptibility in humans (-0.032 to -0.093 standard deviations).

    “Tea consumption demonstrated dose-dependent protective effects, with daily consumption of ≥ 4 cups showing significant negative associations with all basal ganglia regions (-0.032 to -0.093 standard deviations).”

1 study
  1. Smoking is associated with basal ganglia magnetic susceptibility in humans (β = 0.053-0.061, all p < 0.001).

    “current smoking status was significantly associated with increased susceptibility values across all four basal ganglia nuclei (β = 0.053-0.061, all p < 0.001).”

Waist circumference

1 study
  1. Waist circumference is associated with basal ganglia magnetic susceptibility in humans (β = 0.115).

    “Waist circumference, another biological measure, had substantial positive effects on most basal ganglia regions (β = 0.115 in caudate, β = 0.122 in putamen, β = 0.058 in globus pallidus).”

C-reactive protein

1 study
  1. C-reactive protein is associated with basal ganglia magnetic susceptibility in humans (β = 0.028, p < 0.001).

    “C-reactive protein showed significant positive correlations with susceptibility values in the caudate nucleus (β = 0.028, p < 0.001)”
