Food advertisements target adolescents contributing to weight gain and obesity. However, whether brain connectivity during those food advertisements can predict weight gain is unknown. Here, 121 adolescents (14.1±1.0y; 50.4% female; BMI: 23.4±4.8; 71.9% White) completed both a baseline fMRI paradigm viewing advertisements (unhealthy fast-food, healthier fast-food, and non-food) and an anthropometric assessment two years later.
