Background: The coexistence of overweight or obesity with concurrent deficiency of one or more nutrients, referred to as double burden of malnutrition (DBM). A number of mental health impairments have been associated with a wide variety of nutrient deficiencies. In the current environment, the co-occurrence of obesity, overweight and mental health impairments have emerged as a significant global health concern. Although DBM is relevant for a number of health outcomes, the ubiquitous involvement of vitamin D across multiple systems and tissues suggests D insufficiency as a viable target for nutritional modification. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of DBM to mental health among adult females.Methods: Study participants included 231 females ages 18-59 years who presented to one of the 25 health centers in Tehran. Women were overweight or people with obesity and BMI ranging from 25 to 40 Kg/m2. The 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to estimate their dietary intake. Body composition was measured by bioelectric impedance assay, anthropometrics including waist circumference (WC) hip circumference were determined and BMI was calculated. Mental health status was assessed using the depression, anxiety, and stress scales-21 (DASS-21). Venipuncture was performed to assess plasma vitamin D level and lipid profile. Results were analyzed by SPSS software.Results: The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age, weight, and BMI of the participants were 36.49±8.38, 80.89±12.45 kg and 31.04±4.31 Kg/m2, respectively. DBM was significantly associated with stress after adjusting for potential confounders including age, energy and marital status in the model 1 (OR;1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.00-1.65 P=0.04) in comparison to crude model (OR=1.22; 95% CI=0.96-1.55 P=0.09). No significant relationship was seen among DBM and DASS-21 outcomes were observed. Conclusions: In this cohort, stress and DBM were significantly associated. However, the directionality of the relationship is unclear. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with mental health and obesity in opposing directions. Whether vitamin D supplementation can decrease mental health impairments requires further evaluation.Registered number; IR.TUMS.VCR.REC.1398.819We intake register number in May of 2020

“…In contrast with our finding, Schaad et al , in 18–67 years old males and females, found a significant relationship between vitamin D deficiency and depression. However, the number of males ( n 9799) was notably more than the number of female counterparts ( n 1121), which likely biased the findings ( 54 ) . Similarly, Umhau reported a significant correlation between suicide and vitamin D deficiency among active-duty military personnel, where the number of males ( n 467) was significantly greater than the number of females ( n 19) ( 26 ) .…”

The co-existence of overweight or obesity with concurrent deficiency of one or more nutrients is referred to as double burden of malnutrition (DBM), and numerous mental health impairments have been associated with a variety of nutrient deficiencies. Although DBM is relevant for several health outcomes, the ubiquitous involvement of vitamin D across multiple systems and tissues suggests D insufficiency as a viable target for nutritional modification. The present study aimed to evaluate the contribution of DBM and mental health among adult women. Study participants included 300 women, aged 18–59 years, who presented to one of the 25 health centres in Tehran. Participants with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 25 kg/m2 and a plasma concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] of >20 ng/ml were considered to have DBM. The 147-item food frequency questionnaire was used to estimate their dietary intake. Mental health status was assessed using the depression, anxiety and stress scales-21 (DASS-21). The mean ± standard deviation age, weight and BMI of the participants were 36⋅49 ± 8⋅38, 80⋅89 ± 12⋅45 kg and 31⋅04 ± 4⋅31 kg/m2, respectively. DBM was significantly associated with stress, after adjusting for potential confounders, including age, energy and marital status in model 1 (OR = 1⋅28, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1⋅00, 1⋅65, P < 0⋅04) v. the crude model (OR = 1⋅22; 95 % CI 0⋅96, 1⋅55, P = 0⋅09). No significant association was seen among DBM and DASS-21 outcomes. In this cross-sectional study, stress and DBM were significantly associated. While vitamin D insufficiency was associated with mental health and obesity in opposing directions. Elucidation of whether vitamin D supplementation can improve mental health impairments requires further evaluation.

“…However, research reports on this topic in various regions are still insufficient; therefore, based on the results of this study in Korea, additional studies in various regions and further studies on multinational backgrounds will be needed in the future. A recent study by Schaad et al showed that there was more vitamin D deficiency at higher latitudes than at lower latitudes, and that the prevalence of depression was related to vitamin D deficiency [ 29 ]. Because vitamin D synthesis and metabolism associated with depression are influenced by various factors, such as sociodemographic, geographic, genetic, and ethnic factors [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], a study to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and depression in terms of geographic differences would be complicated.…”

Vitamin D deficiency is considered a major public health problem worldwide and has been reported as having an association with depression. However, studies on the association between vitamin D deficiency and depressive symptoms in secondary amenorrhea (SA) patients are still scarce. This study examined the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and depressive symptoms among Korean women with SA. In this cross-sectional observational study, 78 patients with SA were initially recruited. Clinical and biochemical parameters, including serum 25(OH)D level, were measured. Data from 63 SA patients who met the study inclusion criteria and completed psychiatric assessments were finally analyzed. We analyzed their association with depression using a hierarchical regression model. The average serum 25(OH)D level was 34.40 ± 24.02 ng/mL, and 41.3% of the women with SA were vitamin D-deficient (<20 ng/mL). The total score of the Korean version of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (K-HDRS) was negatively related to serum 25(OH)D levels, free testosterone, and serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) after adjusting for age and BMI (r = −0.450, p < 0.001; r = −0.258, p = 0.045; and r = −0.339, p = 0.006, respectively). Serum 25(OH)D levels and AMH levels were the most powerful predictors of depressive severity when using the K-HDRS in SA patients (β = −0.39, p < 0.005; β = −0.42, p < 0.005, respectively). This study showed that low serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with the severity of depressive symptoms in SA patients. This observation suggests that the evaluation of vitamin D deficiency for the risk of depression may be necessary in patients with SA.
