224 Measurement of the Hippocampal Volume Among a Sample of Healthy Sudanese Adults

Abstract Aim The hippocampus is involved in many functions; most importantly the short-term memory and consolidation. Hippocampal volume an important determinant for cognition, function as indicator development of diseases such Alzheimer’s, depression, schizophrenia. This study aimed to measure cortical structures young adult Sudanese examine effect sex, age, body mass index (BMI) education on structures. Method A cross-sectional descriptive community-based was done. It included 60 individuals within age range 20–40, which, MRI imaging done using 1.5 Tesla Philips scanners, Version: 3.2.1. T1-weighted images obtained three-dimensional acquisition by Magnetization Prepared Rapid Acquisition (MP-RAGE). Images were analysed BrainSuite software, data SPSS version 26. Results mean right left 3.22±0.92 cm3 3.35±0.79 cm3, respectively. hippocampal white matter larger males than females. There no significant asymmetry between sides. statistically association educational status, or BMI. Conclusions Measurements among adults goes line with other international studies. not affected BMI, level, but can be gender. Further studies samples are required order support these data.
