We hope that our results on brain aging in the course of affective disorders will make it through peer-review this year! Our preprint also comes with open materials and open data: osf.io/qadxz/

We then decided to explore wether the brain age gap at baseline was also predictive of future worse outcomes, for example, wether a patient is hospitalized or not. However, the cross-validation of our prediction with an accuracy of 64.3% was not significant.

Patients were consistently estimated with an older brain age resulting in a larger brain age gap than healthy participants, confirming previous results on brain aging. However, we also found that patients with a worse outcome during follow up already had a larger brain age gap at baseline.

... and how the longitudinal course of affective disorder relates to the brain age gap. We found something that we did not expect. 😱

We investigated the "brain age gap" - thedifference between actual and estimated age derived from MRI scans - in patients with affective disorders in a long-term prospective design. Our research question was wether the brain age gap differs between patients and healthy participants ....
