Obesity has tripled over the past 40 years to become a major public health issue, as it is
linked with increased mortality and elevated risk for various physical and neuropsychiatric …

Obesity has been variously linked to differences in brain functional connectivity in regions
associated with reward, emotional regulation and cognition, potentially revealing neural …

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for vascular dementia and Alzheimer disease.
To predict the onset of these diseases, it is necessary to develop tools to detect the early …

This study examines the relationship of engagement in different lifestyle activities to
connectivity in large-scale functional brain networks, and whether network connectivity …

Several cardiovascular and metabolic indicators, such as cholesterol and blood pressure
have been associated with altered neural and cognitive health as well as increased risk of …

Aims Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a prevalent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular
diseases and contributes to cognitive decline in late life. Despite the fact that functional …

Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between white matter hyperintensities
(WMHs) and cognitive impairment related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the underlying …

The objective of this study is to examine whether metabolic syndrome (MetS), the clustering
of 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors, disrupts the resting-state functional connectivity (FC) …

Background Poor vascular health may impede brain functioning in older adults, thus
possibly increasing the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The …

Resting-state functional connectivity is suggested to be cross-sectionally associated with
both vascular burden and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, evidence is …
