Recent work has reported a negative association between BMI and performance on the Penn Line Orientation Task (PLOT). To determine the reliability of this effect, we performed a comprehensive assessment of visual function in individuals with healthy weight (HW) and overweight/obesity (OW/OB). Visual acuity/contrast, PLOT, and higher-order visuospatial function were measured in 80 (40 HW, 40 OW/OB) case-control study participants. Adiposity, fasting insulin, HbA1c, diet, physical activity and heart rate variability were also assessed. A subgroup of 22 participants plus 5 additional individuals (n=27) underwent fMRI scanning. Compared to HW, individuals with OW/OB performed worse on tasks requiring judgements of line orientation. This effect was mediated by percent body fat and unrelated to other measures. fMRI revealed a negative association between BMI and response in the primary visual cortex (V1) during line orientation judgement. Performance was unrelated to V1 response, but positively correlated with response in a network of regions, including the lateral occipital cortex, when BMI was accounted for in the model. Our results demonstrate a selective deficit in line orientation perception associated with adiposity and blunted activation in VI, that cannot be attributed to visual acuity and does not generalize to other visuospatial tasks.
