Sex-specific relationship of cardiometabolic syndrome with lower cortical thickness

Objective

To investigate whether cardiometabolic factors were associated with age-related differences in cortical thickness in relation to sex.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 1,322 cognitively normal elderly (≥65 years old) individuals (774 [58.5%] men, 548 [41.5%] women). We measured cortical thickness using a surface-based analysis. We analyzed the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors with cortical...
