Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between social brain anatomy and social, personality, and demographic factors in middle-aged adults using data from the UK Biobank. A fully Bayesian framework was used to analyze 40 traits in approximately 10,000 participants. Household size and daily routines showed significant effects on social brain regions, with sex-specific differences observed for job income and health satisfaction.
