Metabolic syndrome linked to altered brain energy estimates
A cross-sectional analysis of 25,697 adults aged 40–70 linked metabolic syndrome severity to brain network energy profiles suggesting accelerated aging.A cross-sectional analysis of 25,697 adults aged 40–70 linked metabolic syndrome severity to brain network energy profiles suggesting accelerated aging.
Cross-sectional · 25,697 peopleMetabolic syndrome
Who was studied25,697 UK Biobank adults aged 40–70
What changedGreater metabolic syndrome severity was linked to higher estimated energy costs in deeper brain regions and lower costs in the visual network
The catchBrain energy costs were model estimates, not direct measurements
