Abstract

In 2016, World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that 650 million adults aged 18 and more have obesity. Many research shows that obesity affects brain function and impairs the cognitive function of the brain. To understand whether body fat percentage has an impact on the attention aspect of the cognitive function in university students. This study is a cross-sectional study approach. The data was collected from August 2020 until March 2021 with a total of 72 respondents. The data was collected using the body fat percentage formula from the British Journal of Nutrition to assess body fat percentage and Stroop Test for attention. Kruskal-Wallis and spearman were used to assess the correlation between body fat percentage and attention. The result shows that body fat percentage affects the attention aspect of the cognitive function (p = 0.001, r = 0.71). In conclusion, based on 72 university students, it proves that body fat percentage has an impact on the attention aspect of the cognitive function. The impact that high body fat percentage does is lowering the attention aspect of the cognitive function.

体脂率对临床前大学生认知功能注意方面的影响

2016年，世界卫生组织(世卫组织)预测，有6.5亿18岁及以上的成年人患有肥胖症。许多研究表明，肥胖会影响大脑功能，损害大脑的认知功能。了解体脂率对大学生认知功能注意方面的影响。本研究采用横断面研究方法。该数据是在2020年8月至2021年3月期间收集的，共有72名受访者。数据是通过《英国营养学杂志》上的体脂百分比公式收集的，该公式用于评估体脂百分比和Stroop注意力测试。Kruskal-Wallis和spearman被用来评估体脂率和注意力之间的相关性。结果表明，体脂率对认知功能注意方面有影响(p = 0.001, r = 0.71)。综上所述，以72名大学生为研究对象，证明体脂率对认知功能的注意方面有影响。高体脂率的影响是降低认知功能的注意力。
