First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at how being overweight or having early signs of type 2 diabetes affects the brains of teenagers aged 12 to 17. Researchers will use brain scans and thinking tests to see if factors like insulin resistance or inflammation are linked to changes in memory, processing speed, and brain structure. No treatment is given—the goal is simply to understand which risks matter most for brain health.
