Insulin resistance linked to larger brain grooves in adults
Estimated frontal groove-volume differences per unit of insulin resistance were 596 cubic millimeters on the left and 344 on the right.Estimated frontal groove-volume differences per unit of insulin resistance were 596 cubic millimeters on the left and 344 on the right.
Cross-sectional · 728 peopleInsulin resistance
Who was studied728 non-diabetic adults, against adults in the lowest HOMA-IR quartile
What changedLeft frontal brain groove volume was 8.9% higher in the highest insulin-resistance quarter than in the lowest
The catchDiet was unmeasured and could influence both insulin resistance and brain health
