Gender differences in the association between adiposity and probable major depression: a cross-sectional study of 140564 UK Biobank participants

摘要

BackgroundPrevious studies on the association between adiposity and mood disorder have produced contradictory results, and few have used measurements other than body mass index (BMI). We examined the association between probable major depression and several measurements of adiposity: BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip-ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage (BF%).
