Meo SA, et al. - Among 400 healthy school adolescents, researchers assessed the correlation between obesity and cognitive function. For this cross-sectional study, they divided students into group A (obese, n = 223) and B (non-obese, n = 177). In markedly obese students, cognitive functions, including Attention Switching Task (AST)-Latency, AST-Incongruent, AST-Percent correct trials, and Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift (IED) Total errors were significantly deteriorated, and significant deficiencies in their cognitive functions, particularly attention, retention, intelligence, and cognitive flexibility were seen. The study highlighted the necessity of involving school adolescents in physical activities to lower body weight as a means to getting cognitive functions within normal range and minimize all the complications linked to obesity.
