Brain-Wide Resting-State Functional Connectivity Partially Mediates Socioeconomic Disparities in Children's Cardiometabolic Health
Brain-wide functional connectivity may be a mediator of SES effects on BMI and blood pressure in children. The first connectivity factor provides a promising neural signature linking SES with cardiometabolic risk. Comprehensive brain- wide approaches to functional connectivity may offer valuable insights into how social determinants of health shape neural and physical development in childhood.
