Impact of obesity on central processing time rather than overall reaction time in young adult men.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the association between weight status and RT might be elusive in young adults, our results show that higher central adiposity is negatively associated with PMT in young adults. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore the changes in obesity indexes and process speed in longer terms.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, experimental study.
