Advanced age is associated with reduced within-network functional connectivity, particularly within the default mode network. Most studies to date have examined age differences in functional connectivity via static indices that are computed over the entire blood-oxygen level dependent time-series. Little is known about the effects of age on short-term temporal dynamics of functional connectivity. Here we examined age differences in dynamic connectivity as well as associations between connectivity, metabolic risk, and cognitive performance in healthy adults (N=168; age 18 to 83). A sliding-window k-means clustering approach was used to assess dynamic connectivity from resting-state fMRI data. Three out of eight dynamic connectivity profiles were associated with age. Furthermore, metabolic risk was associated with the relative amount of time allocated to two of these profiles. Finally, the relative amount of time allocated to a dynamic connectivity profile marked by heightened connectivity between default mode and medial temporal regions was positively associated with executive functions. Thus, dynamic connectivity analyses can enrich understanding of age-related differences beyond what is revealed by static analyses.
