Navigating the Bidirectional Link Between Body Weight and Emotional Eating

Originally Published 1 year ago — by PsyPost

A study analyzing data from the Twins Early Development Study and the UK Adult Twin Registry has found a bidirectional relationship between body mass index (BMI) and depressive symptoms during adolescence, with depressive symptoms contributing to subsequent weight gain and increased BMI leading to the emergence of depressive symptoms. After the age of 16, only depressive symptoms contribute to later weight gain. The research sheds light on the nature of links between depression and BMI during adolescence, but it also has limitations, as it was conducted on twins and assumes no interactions between genes and environment.

The Impact of Parental Responsibilities on Personal Fitness

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost

A new study has found a bidirectional relationship between physical activity and health-related quality of life in children and adolescents. The research revealed that increased physical activity was associated with higher health-related quality of life, and vice versa. These findings suggest that interventions targeting either physical activity or factors related to health-related quality of life could have a positive impact on both outcomes. However, the study has limitations, including self-reported measures and a limited time frame, and future research should consider objective measures and longer follow-up periods.
