摘要：Using structural magnetic resonance imaging data from the UK Biobank (n = 33293), a brain age predictor was trained using a machine learning technique in the non-smoker group (n = 14667) and then tested in the smoker group (n = 18626) to determine the relationships between BrainAge Gap and smoking parameters. Further, we examined whether smoking was associated with poorer cognition and whether this relationship was mediated by brain age. The study provides insight into the association between smoking, brain ageing, and cognition, which provide more publicly acceptable propaganda against smoking.
