Effects of adiposity on postural control and cognition

Effects of adiposity on postural control and cognition

Highlights • We evaluated the relationship between postural control and measures of adiposity. • Measures of adiposity included BMI and body fat percentages (via DEXA scan). • Participants performed a working memory task and sensorimotor evaluations. • Measures of motor function deteriorated as meas...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We evaluated the relationship between postural control and measures of adiposity. • Measures of adiposity included BMI and body fat percentages (via DEXA scan). • Participants performed a working memory task and sensorimotor evaluations. • Measures of motor function deteriorated as measures of adiposity increased. • Percent body fat was a better predictor of postural control as compared to BMI.
