White matter fractional anisotropy is related to processing speed in metabolic syndrome patients: a case-control study

Structured PICO

Are white matter alterations related to cognitive impairment in patients with metabolic syndrome?

Population

Patients with metabolic syndrome (MetSd)

Comparator

Controls (implied by case-control design)

Outcome

Correlation between white matter fractional anisotropy and processing speedsurrogate

Metabolic syndrome is associated with structural white matter alterations and cognitive impairment, highlighting the importance of its prevention and control.

Abstract

We found significant correlations between WM alterations and cognitive impairment in MetSd patients, especially in the frontal lobe. These findings highlight the importance of MetSd prevention and control due to its association with structural and functional damage in the central nervous system.
