“…Higher resilience was an independent predictor of lower psychological distress, in line with previous research (26,27). However, contrary to our hypothesis, resilience did not moderate the relationship between SES and psychological distress.…”

“…Resilience refers to an individual's capacity to cope with stressors and to withstand the potential depressive consequences of such stressors (25). In previous studies, lower levels of resilience have been associated with higher incidences of depression (26,27). Low resilience also was found to independently predict higher BMI and waist circumference (28).…”

Objective Lower socioeconomic status is robustly associated with obesity; however, the underpinning psychological mechanisms remain unclear. The current study sought to determine whether the relationship between lower socioeconomic status and obesity is explained by psychological distress and subsequent emotional eating as a coping strategy. It also examined whether psychological resilience plays a protective role in this pathway. Methods Participants ( N = 150) from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds completed questionnaire measures of psychological distress, emotional eating, and resilience. They reported their income and education level as an indicator of socioeconomic status and their height and weight in order to calculate BMI. Results There was a significant indirect effect of socioeconomic status on BMI via psychological distress and emotional eating; specifically, lower socioeconomic status was associated with higher distress, higher distress was associated with higher emotional eating, and higher emotional eating was associated with higher BMI ( b [SE] = −0.02 [0.01]; 95% CI: −0.04 to −0.01). However, resilience was not a significant moderator of this association. Conclusions Psychological distress and subsequent emotional eating represent a serial pathway that links lower socioeconomic status with obesity. Targeting these maladaptive coping behaviors may be one strategy to reduce obesity in low‐income populations.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate anxiety status and its relationship with body mass index (BMI) among empty nesters in China, so as to improve their quality of life and provide direction for further research. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted among 4901 empty nesters in Shanxi, China. Anxiety, weight, height, depression, socio‐demographic variables, attention to daily nutritional health, social activities, and self‐care ability were evaluated in the study. T‐tests and chi‐square tests were used to compare differences in categorical and continuous variables. Binary logistic regression was performed to explore the association between anxiety and BMI among male and female empty nesters. Results The results showed that 44.5% of empty nesters reported anxiety, of which, 43.2% were male participants and 45.9% were female participants. After adjusting for other variables, overweight empty nesters odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]) = 0.813 (0.692‐0.954) were less likely to be anxious, compared with their normal‐weight counterparts. Gender was a significant factor in the relationship, with the negative association between overweight and anxiety only found in female empty nesters OR (95%CI) = 0.718 (0.572‐0.901). Income, education, complete self‐care ability, and depression showed significant associations with anxiety. Conclusion The prevalence of anxiety was high in the study population. Gender is a significant factor in the relationship between anxiety and BMI among empty nesters. The results intend to inform the government and media that overweight is a protective factor for anxiety among female empty nesters, necessitating a move toward eliminating weight bias.

“…Based upon a combination of symptom clustering and neurobiological factors, a model of depression subtypes has been developed that included Depressed mood, Anhedonia, Somatic depression, Cognitive depression [24,25]. That model has been validated in samples of prostate and breast cancer patients, as well as within several community samples [26][27][28].…”

Although the association between Job Satisfaction (JS) and depression has been reported at a global level, relatively little is known about that relationship in terms of specifi c aspects of JS and subtypes of depression. To investigate this issue, eighty-eight employed participants from rural Australia answered questionnaires about JS and depression, plus background factors such as hours worked at paid employment and at unpaid employment. Data were analysed at total JS and depression score level and also for specifi c JS aspects and four subtypes of depression, as well as specifi c depressive symptoms. There were signifi cant correlations between participants' dissatisfaction with the hours they worked at paid employment and global depression, and also for depressed mood and Somatic depression. Specifi c depressive symptoms related to hours worked included feeling downhearted and blue and having trouble sleeping at night. There was also some evidence of an interaction between participants' dissatisfaction with hours worked and their ability to complete non-paid work responsibilities. Identifi cation of the pathways between specifi c aspects of JS and particular subtypes and symptoms of depression suggests possible interventions that may be focussed upon those depression symptoms and/or differential allocation of work hours within the workplace.

The association between aspects of psychological resilience and subtypes of depression: implications for focussed clinical treatment models

Abstract: Because of the different nature and treatment requirements for depression subtypes, PR may be applicable to a limited range of depressed patients, particularly those who do not exhibit Anhedonia.
