4/ 📈🧠 Higher WHR in midlife was associated with higher diffusivity covering up to 26 % of the total WM tracts, and lower FA of the WM skeleton.

3/🍎🧠 Better diet quality was linked to enhanced functional connectivity between the hippocampus and occipital lobe & cerebellum. Higher 🍎 over time was related to better WM integrity in several tracts, indicating healthier brain structure.

2/ 📊 Our study involved 664 participants, with a mean age of 48 at baseline and 70 at the time of MRI. We observed that while diet quality (measured using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 score) remained stable over 11 years, WHR increased nonlinearly 📈 over 21 years.

We show using multiple robust and replicable analyses  that it is possible to relate nuclei-precise hypothalamus functional connectivity with other subcortical structures to stress in humans.

We did that by using i.e., questionnaire scores related to stress experienced over the last week, month or “in general” to obtain one dimensional marker of stress using factor analysis.

Because the hypothalamus contains anatomically and functionally distinct nuclei, we first created a detailed parcellation of the hypothalamus into seven distinct, replicable, nuclei based on resting-state data (available here: osf.io/bq3fd).
