Background and objectives : Existing studies concerning the associations of cognitive function with adiposity in young adults are sparse. The purpose of the study was to examine the associations of adiposity with cognitive control in young adults. Materials and Methods  : Participants were 213 young adults (98 women and 115 men). Cognitive control was measured using a modified task-switching paradigm. Anthropometrics were measured by standardized procedures. Body fat mass and visceral fat area were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Results : The results showed that increased body mass index (BMI, p = 0.02), body fat percentage ( p = 0.02), and visceral fat area ( p = 0.01) were significantly correlated with larger global switch costs of accuracy in women. In men, high levels of body fat percentage ( p = 0.01) and visceral fat area ( p = 0.03) were significantly correlated with larger local switch costs of reaction time. Conclusions : The results indicated that elevated adiposity was associated with worse performance on measures of cognitive control in young adults.
