Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between exercise and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in individuals with overweight and obesity, amid concerns over the cognitive impacts of rising obesity rates.
- A systematic review of 13 studies found no significant effect of exercise on resting BDNF levels, with most studies demonstrating a low risk of bias but showing consistent results across different participant ages and control conditions.
- The authors recommend conducting more rigorous and larger-scale studies to better understand the role of BDNF in cognitive function related to obesity.
