Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research indicates that depressive symptoms surge during adolescence, and alarming health reports show that rates of overweight and obesity among teens are on the rise. Harsh environmental, economic and social factors associated with inner-city living, may further undermine adolescents' psychological and physical wellbeing. Despite multiple reports associating overweight with depression among adolescents, the nature of this relationship is not yet fully understood. Existing accounts emphasize low self-esteem, peer harassment, and poor body image as critical factors mediating the relationship between overweight and depression among teens, but the precise mechanisms and behavioral pathways linking body weight with depression remain elusive. The current study sought to investigate the link between overweight and depressive symptoms in an adolescent urban sample by testing two mediational models. In the first model, a negative body self-image was investigated to examine whether it mediated the effect of overweight on depressive symptoms. In the second model, pro-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, TNF-a) were examined as mediators of the relationship between overweight and depressive symptoms in overweight adolescents, beyond body dissatisfaction. Our results indicated that adolescent girls exhibited higher BMI, more depressive symptoms and lower body satisfaction than boys. While African-American adolescents were more likely to have higher BMI, it was Caucasian participants who were more dissatisfied with their bodies. However, we did not find a link between BMI and depressive symptoms. Additionally, despite significant association of higher BMI with inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP) and association of C-reactive protein with lower body-esteem, increased inflammation was not related to depressive symptoms in our sample of early to middle adolescence. This study addresses important issues related to health disparities among racially diverse, vulnerable adolescent populations, demonstrating gender and racial gaps in mental and physical health areas. It also highlights the importance of considering physical and psychological consequences when treating both depression and overweight.

Book excerpt: Discrimination based on body shape and size remains commonplace in today's society. This important volume explores the nature, causes, and consequences of weight bias and presents a range of approaches to combat it. Leading psychologists, health professionals, attorneys, and advocates cover such critical topics as the barriers facing obese adults and children in health care, work, and school settings; how to conceptualize and measure weight-related stigmatization; theories on how stigma develops; the impact on self-esteem and health, quite apart from the physiological effects of obesity; and strategies for reducing prejudice and bringing about systemic change.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Obesity is a growing epidemic in America, reaching record levels of 25% or more in 30 states, and attributing to over 300,000 deaths each year. The most recent data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that approximately 1 in 5 teens is overweight, and 80% of obese teens will continue to be obese adults. Recent studies have revealed a correlation between depression and obesity, and possible implications of mental health and self-esteem influencing the persistence of obesity in adolescence. However, much of the current research pertaining to obesity and depression is conflicting as to the etiology, order of causation, and strength of correlation. Therefore, this study examined linkages between the two conditions in order to best address means of intervention and treatment. The methods involved a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data, retrieved from the CDC website. SPSS 19.0 was utilized to analyze complex samples. Results of the study indicate higher incidence of depressive symptoms and depression in overweight and obese teens (p

This book was released on 2008 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To evaluate the association between anxiety/depressive symptoms and obesity among adolescent females. Design and Methods: Cross sectional, 199 adolescent females (mean age 14.5 years). Trait anxiety was measured with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and depressive symptoms with the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Obesity was assessed with body mass index Z score (BMI-Z), percent body fat from dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and fat distribution (fat mass upper/lower body). Linear regression was used. Results: Anxiety and depressive symptoms were associated with percent body fat, but not BMI-Z or fat distribution. A ten-point increase on the STAI and CDI was associated with 1.15 and 1.33 increase in percent body fat, respectively. Analysis by race and age revealed an association between depressive symptoms and percent body fat among whites and younger girls but not blacks or older girls. Conclusions: Anxiety/depressive symptoms are associated with body composition in adolescent females.

Book excerpt: To enhance the understanding of the role adolescent depression plays between motivation for positive health behavior changes and successful implementation of changes, the current study examined both parent and child self-report of the severity of adolescent depressive symptoms and clinician diagnosed major depressive disorder (MDD) as potential moderators between parent and adolescent readiness to change weight related behaviors at baseline and implemented adolescent behavior change at treatment completion and follow-up. Participants were overweight adolescent girls with an endocrine disorder participating in a psychosocial treatment study (n = 115). Results indicated that parent and child baseline readiness to change positively predicts adolescent change in weight related behaviors from baseline to both treatment completion and follow-up. Moderation analyses revealed that adolescent depression did not affect the relationship between parent and adolescent baseline self-reported stage of change and adolescent change in weight related behaviors from pre- to post-treatment. Findings suggest that among overweight adolescents, parent and child readiness to change at the beginning of treatment is central to positive health behavior changes even withstanding depressive symptoms.

Book excerpt: Research shows that the association between depression and obesity may be strongest among the most obese individuals. Appearance is a central evaluative dimension for females in Western culture, therefore body dissatisfaction can contribute directly to depression. Adolescents and females are at greater risk for self-esteem problems because body image is an important component of their self-esteem. The present study will add to the existing literature on adolescent obesity by examining the associations between family functioning, self-esteem levels, and depression in a self-selected sample of female adolescents who attended a weight-loss program. More specifically, this study will investigate how high and low levels of self-esteem and family functioning affect depression levels. Reasons for such an investigation are to increase the awareness of the effects and causes of depression levels among obese children and adolescents. A total of 45 obese adolescents with a mean age of 13.32 years participated in the initial evaluations (baseline measures). Fifty-three percent of the participants were Caucasian, 22% were Hispanic, 20% were African American, and 4% were multi-racial. The mean BMI was 34.04 kg, and ranged from 25.80 to 56.17. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine a relationship between body image and depressive symptoms and between self-esteem and depressive symptoms. The analysis produced a significant relationship between self-esteem and depressive symptoms, t(39) = -7.20, p .001 and between body image and depressive symptoms, t(39) = 2.52, p

Download or read book Latent Curve Models written by Kenneth A. Bollen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-12-23 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An effective technique for data analysis in the social sciences The recent explosion in longitudinal data in the social sciences highlights the need for this timely publication. Latent Curve Models: A Structural Equation Perspective provides an effective technique to analyze latent curve models (LCMs). This type of data features random intercepts and slopes that permit each case in a sample to have a different trajectory over time. Furthermore, researchers can include variables to predict the parameters governing these trajectories. The authors synthesize a vast amount of research and findings and, at the same time, provide original results. The book analyzes LCMs from the perspective of structural equation models (SEMs) with latent variables. While the authors discuss simple regression-based procedures that are useful in the early stages of LCMs, most of the presentation uses SEMs as a driving tool. This cutting-edge work includes some of the authors' recent work on the autoregressive latent trajectory model, suggests new models for method factors in multiple indicators, discusses repeated latent variable models, and establishes the identification of a variety of LCMs. This text has been thoroughly class-tested and makes extensive use of pedagogical tools to aid readers in mastering and applying LCMs quickly and easily to their own data sets. Key features include: Chapter introductions and summaries that provide a quick overview of highlights Empirical examples provided throughout that allow readers to test their newly found knowledge and discover practical applications Conclusions at the end of each chapter that stress the essential points that readers need to understand for advancement to more sophisticated topics Extensive footnoting that points the way to the primary literature for more information on particular topics With its emphasis on modeling and the use of numerous examples, this is an excellent book for graduate courses in latent trajectory models as well as a supplemental text for courses in structural modeling. This book is an excellent aid and reference for researchers in quantitative social and behavioral sciences who need to analyze longitudinal data.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents has been identified as a leading public health concern in the United States and worldwide. Research examining pediatric overweight and obesity has focused on identifying the negative physical health consequences as well as the possible psychosocial effects of overweight and obesity including increased risks of peer victimization, lowered self esteem, depression, and impaired health-related quality of life. However, the association between overweight and obesity and elevated depressive symptoms is not universal. Recent research has aimed to identify potential mediators and moderators of this relation between body mass index (BMI) and depression. The present study attempted to provide further insight into this relation by examining health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as a mediator and age and sex as moderators in a clinical sample of children ages 8-17 years presenting at pediatric weight management program (N = 439). -- From the author's abstract.
