Bipolar disorder: an association between body mass index and cingulate gyrus fractional anisotropy not mediated by systemic inflammation

Abstract Objective To investigate associations between body mass index (BMI), white matter fractional anisotropy (FA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in a group of individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) during euthymia and compare them with a control group of healthy subjects (CTR). Methods The sa...

description Abstract Objective To investigate associations between body mass index (BMI), white matter fractional anisotropy (FA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in a group of individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) during euthymia and compare them with a control group of healthy subjects (CTR). Methods The sample consisted of 101 individuals (BD n = 35 and CTR n = 66). Regions of interest (ROI) were defined using a machine learning approach. For each ROI, a regression model tested the association between FA and BMI, controlling for covariates. Peripheral CRP levels were assayed, correlated with BMI, and included in a mediation analysis. Results BMI predicted the FA of the right cingulate gyrus in BD (AdjR2 = 0.312 F(3) = 5.537 p = 0.004; β = -0.340 p = 0.034), while there was no association in CTR. There was an interaction effect between BMI and BD diagnosis (F(5) = 3.5857 p = 0.012; Fchange = 0.227 AdjR2 = 0.093; β = -1.093, p = 0.048). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between BMI and CRP in both groups (AdjR2 = 0.170 F(3) = 7.337 p < 0.001; β = 0.364 p = 0.001), but it did not act as a mediator of the effect on FA. Conclusion Higher BMI is associated with right cingulate microstructure in BD, but not in CTR, and this effect could not be explained by inflammatory mediation alone.
