“…[11] Araştırmamızın sonuçları bazı araştırma sonuçlarıyla da tutarlılık göstermektedir. [16][17][18][19] Bu araştırmalardan farklı olarak Askaria ve arkadaşları [20] 400 katılımcıyla yaptıkları çalışmada obezlerde depresyon belirtilerinde bir artış olmadığını ortaya koymuşlardır. Bu araştırmalar arasındaki farkın nedeni kültürel çeşitlilik, stigmatizasyon düzeyinin değişmesi, farklı beden imajı algılarının varlığı ve değişik dönemlerde, değişik coğrafi ortamlarda yapılmış olmasından kaynaklanıyor olabilir.…”

Psikiyatrik hastalıklar ve beden kitle indeksi ilişkisi Relation of body mass index and psychiatric disorders Amaç: Obezitenin, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'nün (WHO) yaptığı çalışmalarla, ABD ve Avrupa ülkeleri başta olmak üzere Türkiye'de de görülme sıklığının arttığı ve bir halk sağlığı sorunu haline geldiği ortaya konmuştur. Günümüz yaşam koşullarında ruh hastalıkları da küresel anlamda giderek artan bir oranda toplumları etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada obezitenin sınıflandırılmasında kullanılan beden kitle indeksinin depresyon ve anksiyete belirtileriyle ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini NPİstanbul Nöropsikiyatri Hastanesi'nde yatarak veya ayakta tedavi gören, 12-82 yaşları arasında 575 hasta oluşturmuştur. Değerlendirmeler araştırmacı tarafından uygulanan "Beden Kitle İndeksi Araştırma Kayıt Formu'' , "Beck Depresyon Envanteri'' ve "Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği'' aracılığıyla yapılmıştır. Veriler SPPS istatistik programı aracılığıyla Non-parametrik testler, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Ki-kare testi ve Spearmann korelasyonu ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonucunda beden kitle indeksi ile Beck Depresyon Ölçeği Depresyon Ölçeği puanı arasında çok zayıf, fakat anlamlı bir pozitif korelasyon (r=0.096, p=0.021), Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği Anksiyete Ölçeği puanı arasında anlamlı fakat zayıf bir pozitif korelasyon (r=0.143, p=0.001) olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak obeziteyle mücadele ederken, hastada izlenebilecek yeme bozuklukları, metabolik faktörler kadar depresyon ve anksiyete belirtilerine de odaklanmanın önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Anksiyete; beden kitle indeksi; depresyon. Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of obesity is increasing especially in USA and in European countries, and also in Turkey, and it has become a public health problem. Psychiatric disorders effect public health globally in an increasing manner. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between body mass index, which is used to classify obesity and symptoms of anxiety or depression. Methods: The sample of the study is composed of 575 inpatients and outpatients aged between 12 to 82 years, who were admitted to NPİstanbul Neuropsychiatry Hospital. Beck Depression Scale, Beck Anxiety Scale and Body Mass Index Evaluation Form were applied by investigators. Non-parametric tests (Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Chi Square test and Spearmann correlation test) and were used for data analyze. Results: There are correlations between body mass index and Beck's Depression Score, and body mass index and Beck's Anxiety Score. Discussion and Conclusion: Consequently, depression and anxiety symptoms should also be focused on when treating obesity, besides eating disorders and metabolical etiologic factors.

“…Besides, living in a collectivist society and receiving social support are protective elements against depression (41). Another point in Muslim countries, including Iran, could be hijab and clothing rules, which lessened the importance of body shape and, consequently, its adverse psychological effects (13).…”

“…Obese individuals are believed to be more depressed and anxious, which is supported by a large body of evidence (10,11), although, some studies did not con rm this relationship (12)(13)(14), and even others have established the "jolly fat" theory, which emphasizes an adverse association between obesity and mental health issues, including depression and anxiety (15,16). In terms of MetS, similar con icting results have been published of mentioned emotional states in relation to unfavorable metabolic pro le (17)(18)(19)(20).…”

Background The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of obesity phenotypes with depression, anxiety, and stress of the adult participants in Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). Methods Depression, anxiety, and stress levels of 2469 adult participants aged > 19 (1158 men and 1311 women) from Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were examined among different obesity phenotypes in the current study. Weight, height, and waist circumferences of participants were measured by trained personnel. Obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m², and metabolically unhealthy status based on having metabolic syndrome (MetS) or diabetes type 2. Finally, four obesity phenotypes were defined: 1) Metabolically Healthy Non-Obese (MHNO), 2) Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO) 3) Metabolically Unhealthy Non-Obese (MUNO), and 4) Metabolically Unhealthy Obese (MUO). Ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to compare sex-specific odds ratios. Results The mean age of 2469 men and women was 46.2 ± 15.9 and 45.6 ± 14.7, respectively. In total, women were more likely to experience different levels of depression (30.5%), anxiety (44.2%), and stress (43.5%). After adjusting for potential confounders, the odds of experiencing higher levels of anxiety were significantly greater in metabolically unhealthy men whether they were obese (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.25–2.54; P = < 0.001) or non-obese (OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.17–2.21; P = < 0.001), and also in MUO women (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.28–2.34; P = < 0.001) comparing to their MHNO counterparts. Moreover, the odds of experiencing higher levels of stress were significantly greater in MUNO men (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.02–1.90; P = 0.04), and in MUO women (OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.07–1.96; P = 0.02) comparing to their MHNO counterparts. No difference in having higher levels of depression was observed in both genders. Conclusions Compared to MHNO individuals, MUO women and all metabolically unhealthy men reported higher levels of anxiety and stress. The obesity phenotypes were by no means associated with depression in men and women.

“…25,26 However, some other studies did not find any significant relationship. 27 The current study has several strengths not found in many previous cross-sectional studies of depression and obesity in Iran: depressive symptoms were measured and diagnosis was made by an experienced psychiatrist and conducting interviews; the sample size is large and representative with a wide age range and high response rate and a range of covariates was adjusted for.…”

According to World Health Organization media centre, 1 worldwide obesity has nearly doubled since 1980. Obesity is associated with hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, stroke, as well as increased all-cause mortality. 2 Depression is also associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure in patients with systolic hypertension, low bone mineral density, and increased mortality. 3-8 Because both complications share common health problems, it has been suggested that there are interactions and common pathways between them, although thus far, population-based studies of the association between obesity and depression have yielded inconsistent results. 9,10 Some studies found an association, 11-16 but others did not. 17-19 Some found an association between obesity and higher rates of depression in women but not in men; 13,14 others reported inverse associations between obesity and depression in both women 20,21 and men. 15,18,20,21
