An integrative review about body composition of women With anxiety and depression
Abstract
In this integrative review, were identified studies in the literature that point to the relationship between obesity and the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression in women. Three databases were searched, the descriptors were used in the search strategies and met articles that discuss anthropometrics measures, body composition and anxiety/depression. Studies included samples that ranged from 35 to 222,029 participants, with a predominance of the adult age. There is a positive relationship between obesity and anxiety and/or depression scores in women, given that a positive and direct association was found between obesity markers and signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, there is no consensus in the literature on the causality between the presence of obesity and the signs and symptoms of anxiety and depression. This can be explained by the absence of mechanisms, causes, and treatments, which are still poorly established and clarified in the literature.
