Is overweight associated with cortical thickness alterations in children?
The correlation between BMI and cortical thickness was not found in this large pediatric sample. The association between BMI and cortical thinning develops after adolescence. This has implications for the nature of the relationship between brain anatomy and weight gain.
In this analysis of randomized trials, the reduction in clinical end points by PPCI was not influenced by age. Hence, age per se should not be considered an exclusion criterion for the application of PPCI.
