Key result
Combining structural and functional brain connectivity measures yielded the highest correlation (R2 = 0.1294, p < 0.001) with weight concern scores on the eating disorder examination questionnaire.
Cross-Sectional (n=274)
Effect estimate: R2 0.1294
p-value: p=<0.001
Multimodal imaging reveals distinct structural and functional brain connectivity patterns in abdominal versus non-abdominal obesity that correlate with eating disorder behaviors.

Multimodal connectivity analysis merits further eating disorder research; extends single-modality approaches but remains hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Park et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Abdominal and non-abdominal obesity (n=274). Abdominal obesity vs. Non-abdominal obesity was evaluated on Correlation between combined structural and functional brain connectivity (Degree Centrality) and eating disorder behaviors (EDE-Q weight concern score) (R2 0.1294, p=<0.001). Combining structural and functional brain connectivity measures yielded the highest correlation (R2 = 0.1294, p < 0.001) with weight concern scores on the eating disorder examination questionnaire.
