Abstract: (371 Views)
Objective Obesity, as a major public health issue, is rapidly increasing. Depression is one of the most common mental health problems in people with obesity. The current study aims to investigate the relationship of body mass index (MBI) and waist circumferences with depression in overweight/obese people referred to the nutrition therapy clinics in a city in Iran.
Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 414 overweight/obese people referred to nutrition and diet therapy clinics in Qirokarzin City in Fars Province of Iran in 2023. Beck’s depression inventory (BDI) was used to determine the depression severity of participants. Data analysis was done in SPSS software, version 24 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results Among participants, 53.6% had no depression/mild depression and 46.4% had depression. There was a significant difference in the BDI score between males and females (P=0.023) and between obese and overweight people (P=0.048). There was no statistically significant relationship between depression and waist circumference. The logistic regression model including age, gender, and BMI variables showed that the odds of depression was higher in women by 1.7 units than in men (P=0.016).
Conclusion Overweight and obesity are significantly related to depression. Depression is significantly higher in obese/overweight women than in obese and overweight men. Therefore, it seems that gender is a confounding factor in the relationship found between obesity and depression.
