Description
Maya Selitser and colleagues published a 2026 study on body health and the brain in bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder causes large swings in mood and energy. People with it often have weight and blood sugar problems too. The team studied one hundred sixty-three adults. Seventy-six had bipolar disorder and eighty-seven did not. All had brain scans and thinking tests.
A cluster of body risks, led by obesity, stood out. People with more of those risks had brains that looked older than their true age. They also scored lower on thinking tests. The body risks explained about a third of the brain gap tied to bipolar disorder. The authors say body checks could also help track brain health in these patients.
