Association between Obesity and Cognitive Function in Chinese Older Adults: The Mediating Effects of Sleep Quality and Blood Pressure
Our study demonstrates a significant positive association between weight, body mass index (BMI), HC, and WC and cognitive function in older adults. These findings suggest that maintaining a moderately high level of overweight may be protective against cognitive decline in this population. Additionally, the study also provides insights into optimizing cognitive function through factors, such as sleep and BP management.
