In all regions, FHP youth showed higher FA than FHN teens. Regions are listed in order by largest to smallest volume.
Coordinates of the center of mass.
Cohen’s d effect sizes computed from means and S.D.s.
Within this region, there was lower RD in FHP compared with FHN youth (note: no regions showed higher RD in FHP group compared with FHN); p’s<0.01.
Within this region, there was lower MD in FHP compared with FHN youth (note: no regions showed higher MD in FHP group compared with FHN); p’s<0.05.
Within this region, there was higher AD in FHP compared with FHN youth (note: no regions showed lower AD in FHP group compared with FHN); p’s<0.02.
