Cardiovascular
fitness did not moderate the relationship between increased adiposity and cortical
thickness in overweight males and females, nor in those with normal weight.
Figure 2: Regions in the right and left hemispheres
(RH; LH) demonstrating significant differences in OBW versus OBM, where OBW demonstrated
greater cortical thickness in these regions indicated in blue (p = 0.00010,
corrected for age, education, study). The graphs demonstrate no influence of
VO2peak on cortical fitness and the relationships for OBW and OBM separately in
the RH (graph on the left; p > 0.05) and LH (graph on the right; p >
0.05).

(RH; LH) demonstrating significant differences in females versus males, where
females demonstrated greater cortical thickness in these regions in teal
(regardless of BMI status). (p =0.00010; corrected for age, education, study)
