“…A number of studies have shown that when compared to normal-weight (NW) adults, individuals with obesity (OB) have lower EF [18][19][20][21], particularly in planning and problem solving [22], cognitive flexibility [14,[22][23][24] inhibitory control [25,26], and decision making [22,27]. The results from the study of La Marra et al [28] have shown that individuals with obesity morbidly reported even lower EF than individuals that are overweight normal-weight individuals.…”

Frontal lobe functions (FLFs) play an important role in human behavioral regulation and can be a determinant of eating behavior. The aim of this study was to analyse FLFs in individuals with obesity, with and without binge eating disorder (BED), compared to individuals with normal weight (NW), and to analyse the effect of sex and binge disorder on quality of life, with age and BMI as covariates. A total of 114 participants, comprising three different groups (NW individuals, individuals with obesity but without BED, and individuals with obesity and BED), completed the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL-lite) questionnaires. The results showed that individuals with obesity, with and without BED, have poorer frontal lobe functioning than the NW group. Individuals with obesity and BED have lower performance in terms of FLFs than individuals with obesity but without BED. Male participants have a higher perception of quality of life in all dimensions, with women showing lower values in self-esteem and sex life. Individuals with obesity and BED show greater weaknesses in physical function. These results suggest that low FLFs and worse quality of life characterize individuals with obesity, and this is more evident in these individuals with BED.

Frontal incomes play an important role in human behavioral regulation and can be a determinant of eating behavior. The aim of this study was to analyse the frontal incomes in obese patients with and without Binge Eating Disorder (BED), compared to normoweight (NW) subjects and to analyse the effect of sex and binge disorder on quality of life, with age and BMI as covariates. A total of 114 participants comprised three different groups (obese with BED, obese without BED and NW) completed the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) and Impact of Weight on Quality of Life (IWQOL-lite). The results showed that obese patients, with and without BED, have poorer frontal functioning than NW persons. Obese patients with BED have lower performance in frontal income than obese patients without BED. Male participants have a higher perception of quality of life in all dimensions, with women showing lower values in self-esteem and sex life. Obese with BED show greater weaknesses in physical function. These results suggest that low frontal incomes and worse quality of life characterize obese patients, more evident in obese patients with BED.

Objetivo: Describir el desempeño de adultos con sobrepeso respecto a adultos normopeso en las áreas de toma de decisiones, planeación y flexibilidad cognitiva. Método: Se realizó un estudio no experimental y transversal. Se evaluaron 763 adultos de 18 a 30 años (M = 23.7, DE = 3.4); 485 con normopeso y 278 con sobrepeso, utilizando las tareas de Juego de Azar de IOWA, Torre de Londres y Clasificación de Cartas de Wisconsin, aplicadas en línea a través de la plataforma Inquisit web versión 6 de Milisecond. Resultados: En la tarea que evalúa flexibilidad cognitiva los adultos con sobrepeso cometieron más errores, terminaron la prueba en mayor cantidad de intentos y completaron menos categorías que el grupo con normopeso. También se observó que en la tarea que mide toma de decisiones, los individuos con sobrepeso tendieron a elegir las alternativas consideradas desventajosas. Y no se encontraron diferencias entre los grupos en la tarea que mide planeación. Conclusión: Las dificultades cognitivas observadas sugieren que las personas con sobrepeso pueden presentar problemas para cambiar patrones de comportamiento poco útiles y además se inclinan por las decisiones que brindan consecuencias gratificantes inmediatas que son perjudiciales a largo plazo, lo que puede interferir en el cambio de hábitos para la pérdida de peso. Por consiguiente, se sugiere contemplar la inclusión de estrategias de rehabilitación cognitiva en los protocolos de tratamiento para personas con sobrepeso y obesidad. Además, es necesario utilizar otros instrumentos para evaluar la planeación y esclarecer el papel de esta variable en esta población.
