Abstract

Obesity is associated with an accelerated rate of cognitive decline, a higher risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As well, some studies suggest that obese subjects have an impaired aerobic fitness and cardiac function. Aerobic fitness was found to be a protective factor for cognitive and cardiac function in healthy subjects, but has been less studied in obese subjects. The aim of this study was to compare cognitive function (CF) and cardiac hemodynamics during maximal incremental exercise in obese subjects (OB) according to their aerobic fitness level vs. age-matched healthy controls (AMHC).
