<p><p>Obesity appears to be linked with an increased risk of depression, say researchers, and the link also works in the other direction.</p> <p>Floriana S.

The association between depression and obesity was stronger than the association between depression and overweight, which reflects a dose-response gradient," said the authors.</p> <p>The researches also found that the link between obesity and later depression was stronger among Americans than among Europeans and stronger for diagnosed depressive disorder compared with depression symptoms.</p> <p>Although the causes for the obesity-depression link are uncertain, the authors discussed several possible theories, including the following:</p> <ul> <li>Obesity is an inflammatory state and inflammation increases the risk of depression.</li> <li>Obesity contributes to body dissatisfaction and low-esteem, putting the overweight individual at risk for depression.</li> <li>Depression may increase weight by either interfering with the endocrine system or through antidepressant side effects.</li> </ul> <p>The authors suggest that doctors treating patients with either depression or obesity should be aware of the link so that they can engage in preventative care and detect problems early.</p> <p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"> <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;zu=http://depression.about.com/b/2010/03/03/obesity-and-depression-are-linked-say-researchers.htm">Obesity and Depression Are Linked, Say Researchers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;zu=http://depression.about.com/">About.com Depression</a> on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010 at 00:00:09.</p> <p> <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;zu=http://depression.about.com/b/2010/03/03/obesity-and-depression-are-linked-say-researchers.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;zu=http://depression.about.com/b/2010/03/03/obesity-and-depression-are-linked-say-researchers.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://depression.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://depression.about.com/b/2010/03/03/obesity-and-depression-are-linked-say-researchers.htm&amp;zItl=Obesity%20and%20Depression%20Are%20Linked,%20Say%20Researchers">Email this</a></p></p>

<p>Objective <p>To assess the determinants of functional recovery in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated initially with thrombolysis, followed by percutaneous coronary intervention and intracoronary injection of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMC).</p>Design <p>A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study (substudy of FINCELL).</p>Setting <p>Two tertiary cardiac centres.</p>Participants <p>78 patients with STEMI randomly assigned to receive either intracoronary BMC (n=39) or placebo (n=39) into the infarct-related artery.</p>Interventions <p>Thrombolysis a few hours after symptom onset, percutaneous coronary intervention and intracoronary injection of BMC 2&#8211;6&#160;days later.</p>Main outcome measures <p>Efficacy of the BMC treatment was assessed by measurement of the change of global left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline to 6&#160;months after STEMI. Various predefined variables (eg, the levels of certain natriuretic peptides and inflammatory cytokines) were analysed as determinants of improvement of LVEF.</p>Results <p>In the BMC group, the most powerful determinant of the change in LVEF was the baseline LVEF (r=&#8211;0.58, p&lt;0.001). Patients with baseline LVEF at or below the median (&#8804;62.5%) experienced a more marked improvement in LVEF (+12.7±12.5 %units, p&lt;0.001) than those above the median (&#8211;0.8±6.3 %units, p=0.10). Elevated N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (p&lt;0.001) and N-terminal proatrial natriuretic peptide (p=0.052) levels were also associated with improvement in LVEF in the BMC group but not in the placebo group.</p>Conclusions <p>The global LVEF recovers most significantly after intracoronary infusion of BMC in patients with the most severe impairment of LVEF on admission.
