Based on the cortical and sub-cortical features, the brain age gap estimate was computed using sex-specific ML models created by the Enhancing Neuroimaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis -Brain Age working group. BrainAGE was calculated as the difference between the chronological and predicted age of the brain.
There were no differences in externalizing symptoms between the two groups. The MANOVA test on brain metrics showed significant differences between pre- and peri-COVID-19 adolescents. Peri-COVID-19 adolescents had decreased cortical thickness and larger bilateral hippocampal and amygdala volumes. Moreover, peri-COVID-19 adolescents had an older BrainAGE than pre-COVID-19 peers.
