An observational study in Obesity (Disorder), sponsored by University Hospital, Bordeaux. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-01.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Bordeaux · Observational
The aim of the study is therefore to characterise memory impairment in a middle-aged population with obesity and to clarify the role of inflammation in obesity-related memory impairment.
The hypothesise that, as in an elderly population, neurological and memory impairment in a population of middle-aged obese individuals is heterogeneous, with varying levels of memory impairment characterised by neuropsychological test results. This heterogeneity in neuropsychological tests may be linked to markers of inflammation and brain imaging biomarkers identified previously in the litterature.
Recruitment will take place within the Specialised Obesity Centre at Bordeaux University Hospital.
As part of their obesity treatment within the department, new patients first attend a consultation, after which they are usually admitted for a five-day educational programme to undergo a comprehensive initial multidisciplinary assessment (covering medical, dietary, psychological, physical activity and social aspects).
Exclusion Criteria:
Other: RMI and Questionnaires
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will collect anatomical information (3D T1 weighted images) to compute the volumes of the hypothalamus, hippocampus and the other brain parcels. Executive functions using the CANTAB tests and validated questionnaires will be performed.
Memory function characteristic
The main objective is to characterise memory function in a population of middle-aged individuals suffering from obesity using the CANTAB Paired Associates Learning (PAL) test.
