Can there be any correlation between bmi and mental sharpness and brain functioning of a person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The study published in the journal of pediatrics found that although bmi is an important indicator for overall health, it did not have a significant effect on test scores. “although obesity is a concern for children, this study shows that aerobic fitness can have a greater effect on academic performance than weight, ” the journal said.
