training, 1,2, or 3 times per week, and for 6 or 12 months. Exercise adherence was calculated as the percentage of exercise classes attended during the exercise-training period. Robust mixed-model regression, including study as a random effect, determined whether baseline lPFC volume predicted exercise adherence. Results:Across the three studies, average exercise adherence was 66% (range 0%100%) and average baseline lPFC volume was 68.2cm (range 43cm-86cm). Independent of baseline intracranial volume, age, and treatment condition, larger lPFC volume predicted greater exercise adherence, such that each 1cm increase in lPFC volumewas associated with a 0.6-percentage point increase in exercise adherence (95%CI: 0.1-1.1). Regional analysis showed that this relationship was driven by volume in the middle frontal gyrus (0.9, 95%
