Depression and major weight gain: A 6-year prospective follow-up of outpatients - abstract

Chris Engel 4/18/134:58 PM

Abstract

Background

Depression and weight change are linked, but there is a paucity of studies on their association during clinical treatment. The present study investigated how risk factors for a weight gain of at least 10% (major weight gain) and mental health modify their mutual association during a 6-year prospective follow-up of depressed outpatients....

Conclusion

The severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms and linking adverse childhood with depression at the beginning of treatment, as well as cluster C PD at 6 months, were predictors of major weight gain.
