Highlights• An age-by-BMI interaction related to altered cortical thickness across development. • In adolescents, greater BMI Z-score for age was associated with greater thickness. • In adults, greater BMI for age was associated with reduced thickness. • Delay discounting related to reduced frontal thickness in high-BMI individuals. • The study of adolescent brain development should consider adiposity effects.
