Macular Xanthophylls Are Related to Intellectual Ability among Adults with Overweight and Obesity
Nutrients, 2018 Excess adiposity or obesity has been inversely related to cognitive function and macular xanthophyll status. However, whether the neuroprotective effects of macular xanthophylls on cognitive function are independent of excess adiposity is unclear.
