We investigated the impact of obesity on brain structure, metabolism, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) core Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in healthy elderly. Methods: We selected controls from ADNI2 with CSF AD biomarkers and/or fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and 3T-MRI. We measured cortical thickness, FDG uptake, and CSF amyloid beta (Aβ)1-42, p-tau, and t-tau levels. We performed regression analyses between these biomarkers and body mass index (BMI). Results: We included 201 individuals (mean age 73.5 years, mean BMI 27.4 kg/m2). Higher BMI was related to less cortical thickness and higher metabolism in brain areas typically not involved in AD (family-wise error [FWE] <0.05), but not to AD CSF biomarkers. It is notable that the impact of obesity on brain metabolism and structure was also found in amyloid negative individuals. Conclusions/interpretation: In the cognitively unimpaired elderly, obesity has differential effects on brain metabolism and structure independent of an underlying AD pathophysiology. 2021-11-04T13:38:27Z 2021-11-04T13:38:27Z 2020-01-01 2021-11-04T12:11:10Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1002/dad2.12052 Alzheimer's & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, 2020, vol. 12, num. 1 https://doi.org/10.1002/dad2.12052 cc by-nc-nd (c) Pegueroles, Jordi et al, 2020 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Wiley Articles publicats en revistes (Institut d'lnvestigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL))
