Neck Circumference and Cerebral Gray Matter Volume

Background: While obesity is linked with brain atrophy and dementia incidence, associations with regional adiposity are uncertain. Our goal was to determine whether cerebral gray matter volume is related to neck circumference (NC), a measure of regional adiposity having unique relationships with metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging and NC were cross-sectionally assessed from 2011 to 2014 in a...
