Edge Density Imaging Identifies White Matter Biomarkers of Late-Life Obesity and Cognition
Alzheimer disease (AD) and obesity are related to disruptions in the white matter (WM) connectome. We examined the link between the WM connectome and obesity and AD through edge-density imaging/index (EDI), a tractography-based method that characterizes the anatomical embedding of tractography connections. A total of 60 participants, 30 known to convert from normal cognition or mild-cognitive impairment to AD within a minimum of 24 months of follow up, were selected from the Alzheimer disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Diffusion-weighted MR images from the baseline scans were used to extract fractional anisotropy (FA) and EDI maps that were subsequently averaged using deterministic WM tractography based on the Desikan-Killiany atlas. Multiple linear and logistic regression analysis were used to identify the weighted sum of tract-specific FA or EDI indices that maximized correlation to body-mass-index (BMI) or conversion to AD. Participants from the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) were used as an independent validation for the BMI findings. The edge-density rich, periventricular, commissural and projection fibers were among the most important WM tracts linking BMI to FA as well as to EDI. WM fibers that contributed significantly to the regression model related to BMI overlapped with those that predicted conversion; specifically in the frontopontine, corticostriatal, and optic radiation pathways. These results were replicated by testing the tract-specific coefficients found using ADNI in the OASIS-4 dataset. WM mapping with EDI enables identification of an abnormal connectome implicated in both obesity and conversion to AD.
