Objective
Recent work has reported a negative association between BMI and performance on the Penn Line Orientation Task. To determine the reliability of this effect, a comprehensive assessment of visual function in individuals with healthy weight (HW) and those with overweight/obesity (OW/OB) was performed.
Methods
Visual acuity/contrast, Penn Line Orientation Task, and higher‐order visuospatial...
Objective
Although ample evidence links obesity to cognitive dysfunction, the trajectory of cognitive change, the underlying mechanisms, and the involvement of related factors, such as metabolic disease and diet, remain unclear. To support further investigations of BMI and cognition, this study aimed to create a concise test battery to be used in future trials.
Methods
Twenty neurocognitive measures...
