Adiposity, diet or inactivity – which is the culprit in obesity-related memory deficits in human adults?

Key Points

• The study aims to explore the roles of adiposity and diet in cognitive decline and memory deficits in adults.
• Conducted a review of existing research on diet, adiposity, and cognition.
• Analyzed potential mechanisms linking dietary patterns and fat accumulation to cognitive ability.
• Evaluated the role of systemic and neuroinflammation in cognitive impacts.
• Diet and adiposity independently affect cognitive and memory function.
• Both factors may influence cognition through mechanisms related to inflammation.
• No evidence was found suggesting mediating roles between diet and adiposity.
