Objective: This observational study examined the relationship between presurgical white matter microstructural coherence and cognitive change after weight loss. It was hypothesized that higher baseline fractional anisotropy (FA) would predict greater baseline and change cognition. Methods: A sample of 24 adults (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) underwent neuropsychological assessment at baseline and 12 weeks after bariatric surgery. A magnetic resonance imaging brain scan was administered at baseline and processed through Tract‐Based Spatial Statistics to compute FA in white matter tracts of interest. Composite scores for attention, learning, processing speed, executive function, verbal fluency, working memory, and overall cognition were calculated. Results: As expected, FA in some tracts of interest was significantly (p < 0.05) positively associated with change in cognition. Inverse relationships were observed between baseline FA and presurgical cognition, which may be explained by increased medial and radial diffusivity and preserved axonal diffusivity. Cognition generally improved after surgery; however, relative but clinically nonsignificant deterioration was observed on learning measures. Poorer baseline cognitive performance was associated with greater postsurgical cognitive improvement. Conclusions: Presurgical microstructural coherence is associated with magnitude of cognitive change after weight loss. An observed reduction in learning suggests that bariatric surgery may lead to negative outcomes in some cognitive domains, at least temporarily. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
