Aside from cortical damage associated with age, cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative
diseases, it's an outstanding question if factors of global health, including normal variation in …

Introduction Cardio-metabolic risk factors have been associated with poor physical and
mental health. Epidemiological studies have shown peripheral risk markers to be associated …

We examined how wide ranges in levels of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease are
associated with thickness of the human cerebral cortex in 115 individuals ages 43–83 with …

Cortical thickness is considered a potentially relevant marker for neurodegenerative
diseases. However, the relationship of demographic and vascular risk factors with cortical …

A deeper understanding of brain macrostructure and its associations with cognition in
persons who are considered cognitively healthy is critical to the early detection of persons at …

Imaging studies of anatomic changes in regional gray matter volumes and cortical thickness
have documented age effects in many brain regions, but the majority of such studies have …

Chronic kidney disease has been linked to cognitive impairment and morphological brain
change. However, less is known about the impact of kidney functions on cerebral cortical …

This study seeks to define the role of predictive values of the motor speed, inhibition control,
and fluid and crystallized intelligence in estimating the cortical thickness in healthy elderly …

We investigated differences due to sex in brain structural volume and cortical thickness in
older cognitively normal (N= 742), cognitively impaired (MCI; N= 540) and Alzheimer's …

We hypothesized that higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and physical activity
relate to cortical sparing, whereas higher levels of cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and …
