“…Finally, in the multivariate analysis, BI dissatisfaction (desire for a smaller body size) remained strongly associated with overweight/obesity in the present study. This result corroborate with other studies, which indicate that adolescents with overweight or obesity are prone to develop BI dissatisfaction, like this other psychological comorbidities, including emotional and behavioral disorders, anxiety, and low self-esteem [47][48][49] .…”

We aimed to evaluate the association of overweight/obesity based in body mass index (BMI) and purgative behaviors with body image (BI). Methods: Cross-sectional study, with probabilistic sample of 976 adolescents, aged 11 to 14 years, from the city of Florianópolis, Brazil. Multivariate analyses were performed. Overweight (including obesity), and four variables related to purgative methods for body weight control or eating behavior were evaluated as outcomes, while body image satisfaction was the primary independent variable in each model. Models were controlled for age, gender, type of school (public or private), intake of fruit and vegetables, number of daily meals, and physical activity scores levels. A total of 31.4% of adolescents wanted to enlarge their silhouette and 45.6% wanted to reduce it. Among overweight/obese adolescents, 9.6% were satisfied with their bodies, while 89.8% wanted to reduce it, while among the not overweight/obese adolescents, 45.4% wanted to enlarge their silhouette (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the odds for overweight/obesity is higher among adolescents who wanted to reduce their silhouette (OR=11.20; 95%CI=5.55-22.58). Adolescents who want to reduce their silhouette are more likely to use diuretics (OR=3.08; CI=1.78-5.32) and to use laxatives (OR=2.10; CI=1.20-3.68). A significant association was also found between dissatisfaction with BI and overeating (among those who want to enlarge their silhouette: OR=1.78; CI=1.12-2.85 and among those who want to reduce their silhouette: OR=1.81; CI=1.03-3.19). Conclusion: BI dissatisfaction was associated with overweight/obesity, as well with overeating, and the use of purgative methods.

“…24 They may also be at risk for excess overweight status due to excess or poor eating practices as a result of being cared for by depressed caregivers, 17 and that could that well foster signs of negative psychological outcomes such as depression, low self-esteem, and life quality among these youth in their own right. 25 Alsaleem et al, 26 similarly found a group of Saudi Arabian youth considered obese to be more likely than healthy youth to be depressed and in need of intervention to offset this, as did Wang et al, 27 with respect to Chinese youth who were recently assessed that might extend into adulthood, especially among overweight or obese females. 28 Fox et al, 29 found the odds of having severe obesity versus obesity were 3.5 times higher for patients with depression compared with those without, that was not related to emotional eating.…”

As obesity continues to remains an immense challenge to mitigate effectively, efforts to untangle its determinants continue, especially those that may exacerbate or impact childhood obesity, and its predictable and well established negative health impacts. Studied for many years in various spheres, the role played by depression has been discussed for some time in this regard, especially in light of COVID-19 pandemic imperatives and their long term mental health effects on youth. This mini review discusses some of these current ideas and related observations regarding, and whether more emphasis on fostering mental health among youth is indicated in efforts to effectively attenuate the onset and spread of childhood obesity into adulthood. Extracted from current literature, it is concluded that this is a topic of significance, but one requiring more acceptance and recognition, plus dedicated sustainable collaborative goals and supportive efforts.

“…In addition, we found that almost all SLE patients were women, and the average BMI of the SLE-A group was abnormal or obese. It was also traceable that obesity is an important risk factor for anxiety and depression (36), and BMI is one of the predictors of severe anxiety symptoms in women, but this result did not appear in male controls (37). Interestingly, half of the SLE-NA group had lower income than the SLE-A group, which was mainly due to the lower number of patients in the SLE-A group, and the fact that some patients did not disclose their actual income.…”

Anxiety is frequently observed in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the immune system could act as a trigger for anxiety. To recognize abnormal T-cell and B-cell subsets for SLE patients with anxiety, in this study, patient disease phenotypes data from electronic lupus symptom records were extracted by using natural language processing. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to distinguish patients, and 107 patients were selected to meet research requirements. Then, peripheral blood was collected from two patient groups for multicolor flow cytometry experiments. The characteristics of 75 T-cell and 15 B-cell subsets were investigated between SLE patients with- (n = 23) and without-anxiety (n = 84) groups by four machine learning methods. The findings showed 13 T-cell subsets were significantly different between the two groups. Furthermore, BMI, fatigue, depression, unstable emotions, CD27+CD28+ Th/Treg, CD27−CD28− Th/Treg, CD45RA−CD27− Th, and CD45RA+HLADR+ Th cells may be important characteristics between SLE patients with- and without-anxiety groups. The findings not only point out the difference of T-cell subsets in SLE patients with or without anxiety, but also imply that T cells might play the important role in patients with anxiety disorder.
