Abstract
- We investigated associations between changes in depression and body composition over a 12-month weight loss trial. Of the 298 adults (BMI > 27 m/kg2), 219 with complete depression and body composition data were included. A 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale measured depression; dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry measured body composition. Multinomial logistic regression predicted reliable changes in depression by BMI, body fat (BF) and visceral adiposity (VAT). Multiplicative interaction terms tested modification by sex and ethnicity. Participants with increases in body composition were less likely to experience improvements in depression (BMI: RRR = 0.79 (0.68 – 0.91), p < 0.01; BF: RRR = 0.97 (0.94 – 0.99), p = 0.01; VAT: RRR = 0.99 (0.98 – 1.00), p = 0.02), but not worsening of depression (BMI: RRR= 1.29 (0.96 – 1.73), p = 0.10; BF: RRR = 1.04 (0.99 – 1.09), p = 0.15; VAT: RRR = 1.01 (1.00 – 1.03), p = 0.18). Sex and ethnicity interaction terms were not significant. However, the relationship was only significant among females, among non-Latinos for BMI and BF, and among Latinos for VAT. Our study supports the association between depression and obesity and highlights the need for longitudinal studies investigating VAT and depression in diverse ethnic groups.
