There was a positive correlation between HIC and BIO at caudate (r = 0.517, P &amp;lt; 0.001), hypothalamus (r = 0.396, P = 0.009), and hippocampus (r = 0.347, P &amp;lt; 0.023). The area under the curve of insulin was independently associated with BIO at the caudate (P = 0.001), hippocampus (P = 0.028), and HIC (P = 0.025).
