“…Nevertheless, the high drop-out is somewhat frequent in obesity trials [47]. On the other hand, there is a certain disparity of games for the improvement of executive functions, meaning that other interventions may be also effective [48,49]. In addition, although both groups were advised to increase their daily physical activity, we did not measure adherence to this recommendation.…”

Cognitive Training Therapy Improves the Effect of Hypocaloric Treatment on Subjects with Overweight/Obesity: A Randomised Clinical Trial

Obesity has been associated with impaired cognitive performance. This study aimed to determine whether improvements in cognitive function may contribute to higher weight loss in patients with obesity. In this randomised, 12-week trial, participants with overweight/obesity were randomised into a cognitive training intervention (Cognitive) group or a cognitive-behavioural (Control) group. In addition, both groups followed a hypocaloric dietary treatment. Cognitive functioning measurements and anthropometrical parameters were evaluated. All cognitive measures improved in the intervention group (p < 0.005 in all contrasts). In controls, significant improvements in attention, flexibility and task planning were also observed. Regarding anthropometrical parameters, the effect of the intervention in the cognitive group was higher for the total percentage of weight loss, body mass index (BMI), body fat and waist circumference. Biochemical parameters improved in both groups. Attending to our data, cognitive training was more effective that the hypocaloric intervention alone, partly related to an improvement in the working memory. Despite the shortage of training interventions for executive functions in the context of weight control, this type of combined intervention could establish the first steps towards a more appropriate intervention for patients with obesity.

“…Although vocational rehabilitation serves an important role in improving employment outcomes for WLWH, other interventions, such as cognitive training and cognitive behavioral therapies, have been shown to improve cognitive function, stress management, and psychological health (respectively) among WLWH (Hemmati Sabet et al, 2013; Hofmann & Gómez, 2017; Vance et al, 2019). Moreover, the need for a more holistic conceptualization of vocational rehabilitation should be considered for WLWH, who may need assistance developing the skillsets associated with the management of interpersonal relationships (i.e., emotional and social intelligence, interpersonal communication, self-advocacy, and boundary setting), as well as assistance developing a sense of personal empowerment (i.e., self-efficacy, self-worth), that is associated with employment (Dale et al, 2014; Garcia et al, 2019; Macsinga et al, 2015).…”

“…For many, employment provides purpose and shapes their identity, contributing to greater quality of life (QOL; Leonardi & Scaratti, 2018; Unanue et al, 2017). For people living with HIV (PLWH), employment may counter the negative psychosocial impacts (i.e., depression, social isolation) associated with HIV infection and may be associated with better HIV-associated outcomes (i.e., viral suppression, reduced morbidity and mortality; Kordovski et al, 2017; Vance et al, 2019). Yet, in spite of the many benefits of employment, the majority of PLWH (∼60%) do not work (Conyers & Datti, 2011; Institute of Medicine, 2010) compared with approximately 40% of the general population in the United States (Trading Economics, 2021).…”

Employment is a social determinant of health, and women living with HIV (WLWH) are often underemployed. This correlational study examined the socioeconomic, psychosocial, and clinical factors associated with employment among WLWH (n 5 1,357) and women at risk for HIV (n 5 560). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to evaluate factors associated with employment status. Employment was associated (p # .05) with better socioeconomic status and quality of life (QOL), less tobacco and substance use, and better physical, psychological, and cognitive health. Among WLWH, employment was associated (p # .05) with improved adherence to HIV care visits and HIV RNA viral suppression. Using multivariable regression modeling, differences were found between WLWH and women at risk for HIV. Among WLWH, household income, QOL, education, and time providing childcare remained associated with employment in adjusted multivariable analyses (R 2 5 .272, p , .001). A better understanding of the psychosocial and structural factors affecting employment is needed to reduce occupational disparities among WLWH.

“…At least 10 participants were experiencing memory or cognitive problems, but attributing this to HIV was complicated in four cases by concurrent Acquired Brain Injury (ABI), and in general by mental health concerns, such as depression and anxiety, which can also affect memory (Alford et al 2019). Although there are indications that it may be possible to reverse a diagnosis of HAND (Vance et al 2019), none of the participants were involved in any cognitive training programme.…”
