3.4 clinical and neuroimaging correlates of cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescents with bipolar disorder

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is more prevalent, and occurs prematurely, in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) vs the general population.

No prior study has examined this topic in adolescents with BD.
