“…Existing findings from cross-sectional data [13][14][15][16] have shown that there is an association between antisocial PD and obesity. Our results show that any adolescent PD was an independent risk factor for adult obesity after adjusting for demographic variables and known risk factors for obesity.…”

“…Regarding PDs and body weight, our results are not supported by previous studies in other populations. To the best of our knowledge, only four studies assess the relationship between PDs and BMI using nationally representative data[ 11 , 31 , 32 , 53 ], but all of these studies are based on data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), so their results are similar. Those studies that include underweight participants[ 11 , 31 ] didn’t find an inverse relationship between cluster A PDs and underweight or a direct relationship between cluster C PDs and underweight.…”

BackgroundMental and body weight disorders are among the major global health challenges, and their comorbidity may play an important role in treatment and prevention of both pathologies. A growing number of studies have examined the relationship between psychiatric status and body weight, but our knowledge is still limited.ObjectiveThe present study aims to investigate the cross-sectional relationships of psychiatric status and body mass index (BMI) in Málaga, a Mediterranean city in the South of Spain.Materials and MethodsA total of 563 participants were recruited from those who came to his primary care physician, using a systematic random sampling, non-proportional stratified by BMI categories. Structured clinical interviews were used to assess current Axes-I and II mental disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). BMI was calculated as weight (Kg) divided by square of height in meters (m2). Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between BMI and the presence of any mental disorder. BMI was introduced in the models using restricted cubic splines.ResultsWe found that high BMI values were directly associated with mood and adjustment disorders, and low BMI values were directly associated with avoidant and dependent personality disorders (PDs). We observed an inverse relationship between low BMI values and cluster A PDs. There were not significant relationships between anxiety or substance-related disorders and BMI.ConclusionPsychiatric status and BMI are related in a Mediterranean Spanish population. A multidisciplinary approach to both pathologies becomes increasingly more necessary.
