abstract = {BackgroundBody mass index (BMI) is increasing in a large
number of elderly persons. This increase in BMI is known to
put one at risk for many "diseases of aging," although less
is known about how a change in BMI may affect the brains of
the elderly.PurposeTo investigate the relationship between
BMI and quantitative water content, T1, T2*, and the
semi‐quantitative magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) of
various structures in elderly brains.Study
TypeCross‐sectional.SubjectsForty‐two adults (BMI range:
19.1–33.5 kg/m2, age range: 58–80 years).Field
Strength3T MRI (two multi‐echo gradient echoes, actual
flip angle imaging, magnetization prepared rapid gradient
echo, fluid attenuated inversion recovery).AssessmentThe 3D
two‐point method was used to derive (semi‐)quantitative
parameters in global white (WM) and gray matter (GM) and
their regions as defined by the Johns Hopkins University and
the Montreal Neurological Institute atlases.Statistical
TestsMultivariate linear regression with BMI as principal
regressor, corrected for the additional regressors age,
gender, and glycated hemoglobin. Spearman correlation
between quantitative parameters of the regions showing
significant changes and the lipid spectra / C‐reactive
protein (CRP). Voxel‐based morphometry and analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA) to explore changes in the GM
volume.ResultsT1 increased significantly (P < 0.05) in
the frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices, while the
bilateral corona radiata, right superior longitudinal
fasciculus, as well as the corpus callosum showed
significant changes in the WM regions. T2* increased
significantly in the global WM and left corona radiata.
Changes in MTR and the free water content did not reach
significance. No significant correlation between any
quantitative parameter and the lipid spectra or CRP could be
identified.Data ConclusionThese results suggest that an
elevated BMI predominantly affects T1 in WM as well as GM
structures in the elderly human brain.},
