Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in terms of cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) symptoms and some psychiatric symptoms between obese children and healthy controls. Participants were 60 cases diagnosed with obesity and 60 healthy children who were not obese/overweight aged 6-12 years. The obese group had significantly higher CDS symptom scores comparing to the control group. In the obese group, there were statistically significant associations found between the symptoms of CDS and attention, conduct issues, emotional instability, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Clinicians who work with obese children should also be aware of CDS symptoms.

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
