Data are presented as mean with standard deviation. The P-value represents the overall P-value of the F-test

adifferent from controls

bdifferent from obese

cdifferent from type 2 diabetes

dAnalyses of cortical thickness, surface area and volume are corrected for age, sex, hypertension and estimated total intracranial volume. Subcortical analyses were corrected for age, sex and hypertension only

eSubcortical volume was corrected for head size by multiplying the participant’s subcortical volume by its own V-scaling factor, obtained by FSL-SIENAX
