Study of relationship between obesity and executive functions among high school students in Bushehr, Iran.

CONCLUSIONS: According to our results it seems the obese adolescents have poorer executive functions than normal weight peers. This is important for families and school staff to design and follow some therapeutic plans for weight reduction in adolescents in order to help them improve their skills in some functions such as planning-organizing and problem solving.
