Editorial
This Neuro Forum article contextualizes recent work associating cardiometabolic health markers with neural oscillatory activity within the broader literature on brain aging and neurodegeneration.
Risk factors for age-related dementias are of high interest, with a particular emphasis on cardiometabolic health. A recent article by Patel and colleagues (Patel M, Braun J, Keatch C, Kameneva T, Woods W, and Lambert E. J. Neurophysiol 134: 1020–1031, 2025) associated cardiometabolic health markers with neural oscillatory activity measured with resting-state magnetoencephalography. In this Neuro Forum, we place this new work in the context of the broader literature on brain aging, neurodegeneration, and the relationship between peripheral and neural markers of health.
