“…En consonancia con estudios previos, las adolescentes con mayor IMC presentaban una mayor insatisfacción corporal (31) y un mayor número de conductas de control del peso (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)14). Sin embargo, no se encontró relación entre el IMC y los niveles de ansiedad y depresión.…”

“…Más allá de su relación con los trastornos de la alimentación (11,12), la obesidad frecuentemente coexiste con otras patologías, entre las que destacan la depresión (12,13) y la ansiedad (14)(15)(16)(17). No obstante, hay estudios que no apoyan la asociación entre un alto índice de masa corporal y problemas de salud mental (18)(19)(20), ni la comorbilidad entre la obesidad y la ansiedad y la depresión (21).…”

Cruz-Sáez MS, Pascual Jimeno A, Wlodarczyk A, Polo-López R, Echeburúa Odriozola E. Insatisfacción corporal y conductas de control del peso en chicas adolescentes con sobrepeso: papel mediador de la ansiedad y la depresión. AbstractIntroduction: The weight-related problems are a major public health problem due to its high prevalence rate and negative health consequences. Objective: The main target of this study was to fi nd out if anxiety and depression play a mediating role between body dissatisfaction and unhealthy weight control behaviors among overweight adolescent girls. Material and methods: Participants in this study were 140 overweight adolescent girls aged 16 to 20. The questionnaires used in the study were the EDI-2 subscale for body dissatisfaction, the GHQ-28 scales for anxiety and depression symptoms and an adaptation of the EAT survey scales to assess the weight control behaviors. Mean differences, correlations and sequential mediation were utilized for data analysis.Results: Overweight adolescent girls with high body dissatisfaction showed more anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as more weight control behaviors. According to the sequential mediation analysis, the infl uence of body dissatisfaction in the weight control behaviors is partially mediated by psychopathological variables (anxiety and depression). Anxiety symptoms have a direct and indirect infl uence on the weight control behaviors, but depressive symptoms have only an indirect infl uence. Conclusions:The results of this study highlight the mediating roles of depressive and, mainly anxiety symptoms in overweight adolescent girls for the development of unhealthy weight control behaviors.

“…Cruz-Sáez et al (2015) found 12.3 per cent of normal-weight girls and 22.5 per cent of overweight girls with extreme weight-control behaviours (EWCBs), that is, self-induced vomiting, taking laxatives, diuretics, diet pills and fasting. In normal-weight adolescents, engagement in EWCBs was associated with high levels of somatic symptoms, a drive for thinness and control overeating.…”

“…These results led the authors to conclude

emotional distress, excessive importance placed on physical appearance to define oneself, low self-esteem and the negative cognitions associated with the body and eating, play an important role in the development of weight-control behaviours that put adolescent girls’ health at risk, even those considered normal-weight.

Health is regulated by homeostasis, a property of all living things. Homeostasis maintains equilibrium at set-points using feedback loops for optimum functioning of the organism. Imbalances in homeostasis causing overweight and obesity are evident in more than 1 billion people. In a new theory, homeostatic obesity imbalance is attributed to a hypothesized ‘Circle of Discontent’, a system of feedback loops linking weight gain, body dissatisfaction, negative affect and over-consumption. The Circle of Discontent theory is consistent with an extensive evidence base. A four-armed strategy to halt the obesity epidemic consists of (1) putting a stop to victim-blaming, stigma and discrimination; (2) devalorizing the thin-ideal; (3) reducing consumption of energy-dense, low-nutrient foods and drinks; and (4) improving access to plant-based diets. If fully implemented, interventions designed to restore homeostasis have the potential to halt the obesity epidemic.
