“…The study of Sepulveda et al [ 32 ] on 170 children aged 8 to 12 years from different health centers in Madrid, Spain revealed that 5% of the sample was diagnosed with major depression. According to Yang et al [ 33 ], childhood obesity can cause depression and reduce children’s quality of life because of their distorted body perception. The study of Blanco et al [ 34 ] on 50 Spanish preadolescents with obesity matched with non-overweight children, showing that children with obesity reported higher depression.…”

“…Three case-control studies included in this review agreed that there were significant differences in depression between the obese and control groups [ 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Four out of five cross-sectional studies identified a positive association between obesity and depression [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ], while the fifth one reported no significant difference in depression between children with overweight/obesity and children with normal weight [ 36 ]. Two longitudinal studies concluded that obesity was a risk factor for depression [ 37 , 38 ]; in the latter study, the result held only for females.…”

The Association between Obesity and Depression among Children and the Role of Family: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

One of the most critical factors that affects or leads to obesity is depression. However, another point of view is that obesity leads to depression. This systematic review estimates evidence arising from observational and systematic studies concerning the association between obesity and depression in children and adolescents. Moreover, the role of the family environment is investigated in this review. A systematic literature search was performed for research conducted between 2014 and 2021 on PubMed. The basic inclusion criteria were the language, study issue and type, and age of the participants. Studies that examined non-healthy populations, or were not related, or with no access were excluded. Titles and abstracts were screened independently, and full-text manuscripts meeting inclusion criteria were extracted. Finally, twenty-seven studies were retained. Most of them highlighted a positive association between obesity and depression. However, it is not clear whether obesity leads to depression or vice versa. Our review also revealed that the role of the family in this association has not been well studied and understood, since only one study addressed the issue. The evidence from our review emphasizes major public health issues; therefore, appropriate health policies should be developed. Moreover, additional research is required to fully understand the role of the family environment in the association between depression and obesity in childhood.

“…Children are in a crucial stage of cognitive development, various drugs [ 62 ], innate diseases [ 63 ], and obesity [ 4 ] may affect their cognitive development and cause cognitive disorders. Childhood obesity is an emerging research hotspot that has become a major public health issue with increasing prevalence worldwide, capable of causing cognitive impairment and mental health problems in children [ 64 , 65 ]. Studies have shown that obese children tended to have poorer cognitive function than their normal-weight peers, particularly in memory, attention and learning areas [ 66 ].…”

Exercise elicits a wide range of physiological responses in mammalian tissues that enhance a broad range of functions, particularly in improving cognitive performance. However, the field lacks a comprehensive bibliometric analysis that clarifies its knowledge structure and research hotspots. This study aims to address this gap and map the research landscape regarding the role of exercise in cognitive function enhancement. Firstly, the frequencies and co-occurrence of keywords were analysed to identify six main clusters: aging, cognitive impairment, rehabilitation, obesity, fatigue, and hippocampus. Secondly, reference timeline co-citation analysis revealed that hippocampus and aging were the major bursts with high intensity and long attention span while children had recently emerged as a topical subject. Finally, the evolution of themes from 2012 to 2022 was analysed, and found that older adults had been the leading research theme for exercise affecting cognition. Childhood obesity was an emerging theme that attracted increasing research attention in recent years while the hippocampus research theme expanded rapidly during the decade but remained a niche topic with less relevance to others. This research identified and summarised research priorities and evolutionary trends in exercise to improve cognition by constructing knowledge networks through visual analysis. It provides researchers with a comprehensive insight into the current state of the field to facilitate further research.
