Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with overlapping brain structural differences. These often involve brain structures involved in the regulation of appetite, food intake, satiety, and reward processing. We examined the individual and interactive effects of PTSD diagnosis and MetS on cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter volumes in patients with PTSD ( n  = 104) compared to trauma-exposed controls ( n  = 97). Multivariate models were constructed for FreeSurfer-generated prefrontal cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter regions-of-interest (ROIs) to explore the effects of PTSD diagnosis and MetS as predictors, adjusting for relevant socio-demographic and clinical covariates. Individual prefrontal cortical and subcortical limbic ROIs were also selected based on  a priori  evidence of their involvement in both PTSD and MetS. The mean age of the sample ( n  = 201; 78% female) was 41.6 (SD, 13.1) years. PTSD and MetS status showed independent associations with prefrontal cortical thickness and subcortical gray matter volumes across multiple ROIs, adjusting for age, sex, scanner sequence, alcohol, and tobacco use. PTSD and MetS are independently associated with brain structural differences, including thinner prefrontal cortical thickness and smaller subcortical gray matter volumes, across multiple ROIs implicated in the hedonic and homeostatic regulation of food intake.
