Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is some evidence about the negative impact of overweight and obesity on reading ability, with negative consequences on quality of life and school success.

In this neuropsychological research, the relationship between the characteristics of reading abilities in individuals with obesity (age range between 11 and 16 years) and the skills of motor coordination, postural stability, manual dexterity, including graphomotor skills, and estimation of time is investigated according to the cerebellar deficit theory.
