ABSTRACT
Background:
This study was designed to investigate the perceived relationship between body weight and depression risk in a Chinese population in Qingdao, China.Methods:
A population-based cross-sectional survey was performed with 4,573 participants (between 35 and 74 years) from the year 2009 to 2012 in Qingdao, China. We applied the Zung self-rating depression scale to ascertain the level of depression in participants. The associations between different indicators of obesity [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)] and depression were assessed by logistic regression based on the Chinese criteria of obesity. Sensitivity analysis was done based on the Asian and WHO criteria of obesity.Results:
The Zung scores for the 243 participants (5.2%) were over 45 and they were entitled as depression. Furthermore, multivariable logistic analyses revealed that being overweight [odds ratios (OR) 1.48, 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] 1.08-2.03] and having abdominal obesity (WC category in Chinese criteria) (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.08-2.00) were often associated with a higher risk for depression compared to normal weight subjects. Sensitivity analysis revealed that abdominal obesity (Asian criterion) (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.03-1.91) was a significant risk factor for depression. Similarly, being overweight (WHO criterion) (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.03-1.87) was an obvious risk factor for depression.Conclusion:
Being overweight and having abdominal obesity (WC category) were found to be linked with a higher risk of depression. However, abdominal obesity (WHR category) was not associated with depression.
