Brain structural correlates of subclinical body dysmorphic symptoms: a gender-informed approach
Our findings suggest an association between subclinical body dysmorphic symptoms and brain structure in limbic and visual areas moderated by gender. Insights into body dysmorphic symptomatology drawn from subclinical samples may offer valuable insights into predisposing factors in the etiology of BDD and may aid in developing targeted prevention strategies.
