Abstract

Background Excessive body fat, or obesity, is a worldwide epidemic and a major contributor to the development of dementia. Aim The research aimed to determine how obesity affected healthcare professionals' memory performance. Materials and Method A total of 474 participants (both male and female) were recruited in this study by random sampling method from three different health institutions. Participants were categorized into overweight, normal weight, and obese groups based on their body mass index (BMI) as per the WHO guidelines and for body fat participants. The memory function test was done using the Gilewski MJ scale. General frequency of forgetting, mnemonic usage, retrospective functioning, and seriousness of forgetting were measured and compared across the BMI and %body fat groups. Results The percentage of body fat of males and females was 38.19% and 42.26%. Statistically, a significant difference (p<0.05) was observed among the male and female BMI and percentage of body fat. The results showed that there was a significant difference between memory scale parameters and percentage BMI. Statistically, a significant difference was observed in the level of general frequency of forgetting among participants with different percentages of BMI (p<0.05). Similar, results were also observed in the level of seriousness of forgetting, retrospective functioning, and mnemonics usage with different % BMI (p<0.05). The findings showed a positive correlation between BMI and %body fat on the scale of general frequency of forgetting and seriousness of forgetting whereas, a negative correlation was observed on the scale of retrospective functioning and mnemonics usage. Conclusion Memory loss is one of the disorders that obesity is linked to more frequently. A focus on keeping a healthy weight may help prevent the development of future diseases.

摘要

背景

过多的身体脂肪,即肥胖,是一种全球性的流行病,也是导致痴呆症发展的主要因素。目的:该研究旨在确定肥胖如何影响医疗保健专业人员的记忆表现。材料和方法:本研究通过随机抽样方法从三个不同的医疗机构招募了总共474名参与者(包括男性和女性)。根据世界卫生组织的指南,按照参与者的体重指数(BMI)以及体脂情况,将他们分为超重、正常体重和肥胖组。使用吉利夫斯基MJ量表进行记忆功能测试。测量并比较了BMI和体脂百分比组之间遗忘的一般频率、记忆方法的使用、回顾性功能以及遗忘的严重程度。结果:男性和女性的体脂百分比分别为38.19%和42.26%。在统计学上,观察到男性和女性的BMI以及体脂百分比之间存在显著差异(p<0.05)。结果表明,记忆量表参数与BMI百分比之间存在显著差异。在统计学上,不同BMI百分比的参与者在遗忘的一般频率水平上存在显著差异(p<0.05)。类似地,在不同BMI百分比的遗忘严重程度、回顾性功能和记忆方法使用水平上也观察到了类似结果(p<0.05)。研究结果表明,在遗忘的一般频率和严重程度量表上,BMI与体脂百分比呈正相关,而在回顾性功能和记忆方法使用量表上则呈负相关。结论:记忆力丧失是肥胖更常关联的疾病之一。关注保持健康体重可能有助于预防未来疾病的发展。
