The association between obesity and fluid intelligence impairment is mediated by chronic low-grade inflammation

Abstract: Published evidence suggests that obesity impairs cognition. Development of chronic low-grade inflammation (CLGI) represents the earliest consequence of obesity. The present study investigated the association between obesity and fluid intelligence impairment and assessed the potential mediating role of CLGI and psychological (depression/anxiety symptoms), lifestyle (exercise) and physiological (metabolic dysfunction indices) factors in this association. Clinically healthy participants (n 188), grouped as per BM… Show more

“…Previous studies have also linked energy balance-related factors, such as obesity and physical activity (PA), to aging-related cognitive decline [7, 8]. Physiological consequences of obesity such as chronic inflammation, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and subsequent diabetes, have deleterious effects on innate immunity, which in turn directly harm the central nervous system [9]. PA, a factor interrelated with body fat, may help maintain cognitive function in elders, through enhancing cardiovascular health, helping decrease brain dysfunction and neurodegeneration caused by inflammation, lowering amyloid loading, increasing levels of neurotransmitters and insulin-like growth factor I, etc [10].…”
