abstract = {Obesity is a risk factor for cognitive decline and gray
matter volume loss in aging. Studies have shown that
different metabolic factors, e.g., dysregulated glucose
metabolism and systemic inflammation, might mediate this
association. Yet, even though these risk factors tend to
co-occur, they have mostly been investigated separately,
making it difficult to establish their joint contribution to
gray matter volume structure in aging. Here, we therefore
aimed to determine a metabolic profile of obesity that takes
into account different anthropometric and metabolic measures
to explain differences in gray matter volume in aging. We
included 748 elderly, cognitively healthy participants (age
range: 60 – 79 years, BMI range: 17 – 42 kg/m2) of the
LIFE-Adult Study. All participants had complete information
on body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, glycated hemoglobin,
total blood cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein,
interleukin-6, C-reactive protein, adiponectin and leptin.
Voxelwise gray matter volume was extracted from T1-weighted
images acquired on a 3T Siemens MRI scanner. We used partial
least squares correlation to extract latent variables with
maximal covariance between anthropometric, metabolic and
gray matter volume and applied permutation/bootstrapping and
cross-validation to test significance and reliability of the
result. We further explored the association of the latent
variables with cognitive performance. Permutation tests and
cross-validation indicated that the first pair of latent
variables was significant and reliable. The metabolic
profile was driven by negative contributions from body mass
index, waist-to-hip ratio, glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive
protein and leptin and a positive contribution from
adiponectin. It positively covaried with gray matter volume
in temporal, frontal and occipital lobe as well as
subcortical regions and cerebellum. This result shows that a
metabolic profile characterized by high body fat, visceral
adiposity and systemic inflammation is associated with
reduced gray matter volume and potentially reduced executive
function in older adults. We observed the highest
contributions for body weight and fat mass, which indicates
that factors underlying sustained energy imbalance, like
sedentary lifestyle or intake of energy-dense food, might be
important determinants of gray matter structure in aging.},
