Self-reported nutritional status, executive functions, and cognitive flexibility in adults

Abstract: Objectives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between nutrition status, executive cognitive functions, and cognitive flexibility; and to analyze the role of gender, age, and nutrition status in the prediction of executive cognitive functions and cognitive flexibility in a sample of Iranian adults. Background. This study is based on the hierarchy of needs, health beliefs, developmental, cognitive and psychophysiological conceptualizations of nutrition and their plausible influences o… Show more

“…This estimate study was also the same as that achieved in the parent study. The internal consistency for subscales was comparable to estimates reported in the literature in different contexts (Khodarahimi, 2018;van der Elst et al, 2012; M. A. J. van Tetering & Jolles, 2017).…”

“…These findings were comparable to the reliability coefficient reported by (Coppin, 2021) in the parent study (α = .74). It also approximated the internal consistency estimates in an adult population reported by Khodarahimi (2018). Similarly, the subscales obtained estimates suggesting adequate internal consistency as represented by a minimum coefficient of .60.…”

“…In rural Pakistan, children's height-for-age at 24 months was related to EF in preschool, independent of family food insecurity, socioeconomic resources, and stimulating environments (Obradović & Willoughby, 2019). The impact of nutrition on EF has also been demonstrated in adult populations in Iran, where a positive relation was found between self-reports of nutrition and cognitive flexibility (Khodarahimi, 2018). Importantly, physical growth uniquely predicts EF, independent of the effect of biological growth on general cognition (Black et al, 2017;Obradović & Willoughby, 2019).…”

“…In turn, bulimic behavior is uncontrolled, compulsive overeating combined with the use of laxatives, induced vomiting and other unhealthy behavior aimed at reducing unwanted body weight. Healthy nutrition (diet oriented nutrition and high fat foods) is positively correlates with good psychosocial functioning (60). Excessive frequency and severity of restrictive and bulimic behavior is a common symptom of eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating disorder (61).…”
