“…Results are also correlating with the earlier studies [11][12][13] where obese children scored less in word memorization test compare to non obese children. The decrease in memory status for words test when compared to 4th trial (of 8 letters/numbers) or 5th trial (of 10 letters/ numbers) of alphabetical/ numerical tests may be due to several factors.…”

“…Results are also correlating with the earlier studies [4][5][6][7] where obese children scores were less in digit span test compare to non obese children. Contradicting results were found in some other studies [8][9][10] in their respective studies there is no difference in memory status in obese and non obese children. All the subjects showed a progressive decrease in short term memory status from 3rd trial on wards in numerical test or digit span test.…”

“…Otherwise healthy obese people show poorer performance on cognitive tests when compared with normal weight-matched control subjects, in particular, on memory and executive function-related tasks. [27][28][29] This effect of obesity may be expected to be even more pronounced in patients with BD, given their intrinsic vulnerability to cognitive impairment. However, to date, only one study has shown that overweight patients with BD performed poorly on tasks assessing processing speed and attention when compared with normal weight patients with BD.…”

Neurocognitive Functioning in Overweight and Obese Patients with Bipolar Disorder: Data from the Systematic Treatment Optimization Program for Early Mania (STOP-EM)

Objective: Obesity is frequent in people with bipolar I disorder (BD I) and has a major impact on the course of the illness. Although obesity negatively influences cognitive function in patients with BD, its impact in the early phase of the disorder is unknown. We investigated the impact of overweight and obesity on cognitive functioning in clinically stable patients with BD recently recovered from their first manic episode. Method: Sixty-five patients with BD (25 overweight or obese and 40 normal weight) recently remitted from a first episode of mania and 37 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects (9 overweight or obese and 28 normal weight) were included in this analysis from the Systematic Treatment Optimization Program for Early Mania (commonly referred to as STOP-EM). All subjects had their cognitive function assessed using a standard neurocognitive battery. We compared cognitive function between normal weight patients, overweight-obese patients, and normal weight healthy control subjects. Results: There was a negative affect of BD diagnosis on the domains of attention, verbal memory, nonverbal memory, working memory, and executive function, but we were unable to find an additional effect of weight on cognitive functioning in patients. There was a trend for a negative correlation between body mass index and nonverbal memory in the patient group. Conclusions: These data suggest that overweight-obesity does not negatively influence cognitive function early in the course of BD. Given that there is evidence for a negative impact of obesity later in the course of illness, there may be an opportunity to address obesity early in the course of BD.

In Indonesia, the prevalence of short stature in adolescents aged 13-15 years and 16-18 years are respectively 35,1% and 31,4%. The growth of adolescentsis related in line to the development with the cognitive function. To find out the difference result of cognitive impairment screening in adolescents aged 10-12 years with normal and short stature. This was a cross-sectional analytic study conducted during December 2016 -March 2017 in Pangandaran District, West Java. Body height of the subjects were measured and they answered questions in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to assess the cognitive function. Data analysis to determine the different results of cognitive impairment screening in adolescent with normal and short stature use statistical Wilcoxon rank sum test. A total of 144 subjects met the inclusion criteria, comprising 45 subjects with short stature and 99 subjects normal. Median (min; max) MMSE scores for adolescent with short stature and normal were 24 (14; 30) and 27 (9; 30). There were significant differences in the median of MMSE scores between adolescents with normal and short stature (median difference = -2.00, CI 95% (-3.00;-0.00), p = 0.013). There were significantly different results of this study in cognitive impairment screening in adolescents aged 10-12 years between normal and short stature. The result of cognitive impairment screening in short statured adolescents aged 10-12 yearswas lower compared to those of normal stature adolescents.
