Healio (11/8, Welsh) reports, “For individuals, a change in depressive symptoms was associated with change in body weight, and the association was stronger for those with overweight or obesity than those with a normal BMI,” researchers concluded in a study that “collected data monthly on mental health and body weight from August 2020 to April 2021 for 2,133 U.K. adults.” Next, “using random intercepts regression models, researchers assessed associations of depression, anxiety and stress with weight.” The findings were presented at Obesity Week 2022.
