The escalating global obesity epidemic underscores the need to understand its intricate health implications. Research highlights associations between elevated body mass index (BMI) and structural changes in both white and gray matter (WM, GM). Given the indirect nature of BMI as an indicator of adiposity, a comprehensive evaluation of body composition becomes essential. This study explores distinct adipose tissue compartments, adipokine levels, and their interplay with structural alterations in both WM and GM, elucidating the complex relationship between obesity, brain structure, and metabolic
