In the entire sample of BD individuals and HCs, higher BMI was associated with worse global cognitive performance, controlling for age, sex, diagnosis, education and medical comorbidity (beta\u2009=\u2009\u22120.22,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.006).

The indirect effect of BMI on global cognition through IL\u20106 was statistically different from zero (ab: beta\u2009=\u2009\u22120.09, CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.18, \u22120.01) in the entire sample, holding age and sex constant, suggesting that IL\u20106 partially accounts for the association between BMI and cognitive performance. However, this finding should be interpreted cautiously, given the modest sample size and exploratory analyses suggesting that the indirect effect may differ by diagnostic group.\n
