ObjectiveWith the rising global obesity rates, increasing research has been directed toward understanding how obesity affects cognitive ability in young adults. This study aims to explore the impact of body mass index (BMI) on general cognitive ability and how sleep quality and impulsive trait mediate this relationship.MethodsA total of 1,205 young adults from Human Connectome Project(HCP) project were included, and questionnaires and cognitive assessment tools were conducted.ResultsBMI was negatively correlated with general cognitive ability, with sleep quality and impulsive trait acting as chain mediators between BMI and general cognitive ability. Additionally, gender moderated the effect of BMI on sleep quality, with this effect being more pronounced in female young adults.ConclusionThis study not only provided new insights into the impact of BMI on general cognitive ability in young adults but also offered an important perspective on how sleep quality and impulsive trait influenced this process. These findings provide a scientific basis for preventive measures against obesity and cognitive impairment in young adults. |
