Abstract

Abstract:

Obesity not only increases the risk of a variety of diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease but is also strongly associated with the development of cognitive dysfunction. Currently, bariatric surgery has been proven to be an effective treatment for obesity, and its impact on cognitive function is of great concern. A growing body of research is showing the positive effects of bariatric surgery in improving obesity-related cognitive dysfunction. However, the relationship between obesity, bariatric surgery and cognitive impairment is complex and the mechanisms and improvements have not been fully and accurately described. Based on the relevant studies in recent years, this paper describes the occurrence mechanism of obesity-related cognitive impairment, describes the existing treatment methods, and reviews the research progress of bariatric surgery to improve obesity-related cognitive impairment, aiming to provide more bases for the treatment of obesity-related cognitive impairment, and provide more appropriate treatment programs to improve the cognitive function of patients with obesity.

Key words: Obesity, Cognitive impairment, Bariatric surgery, Cognitive function improvement
