Abstract
The influence of obesity on cognition is a growing concern in the disciplines of public health and neuroscience. As the global prevalence of obesity continues to rise, it is increasingly evident that excess adiposity is not only a risk factor for various physical health conditions but also exerts a substantial influence on cognitive function. There are associations between obesity and cognitive deficits, particularly in memory, executive function, and attention, according to research. Given the profound societal and individual repercussions of cognitive impairment, it is imperative to develop comprehensive strategies to address this complex relationship. These strategies should include early prevention efforts, interprofessional healthcare models, and policies promoting healthy lifestyles. By addressing the impact of obesity on cognition with these multifaceted strategies, we can preserve cognitive health and mitigate the cognitive decline associated with this global health issue. To refine these strategies and advance our comprehension of the obesity-cognition nexus, additional research and interdisciplinary collaboration will be essential.
