Objective.
To estimate the relationship between obesity (defined by both BMI and SAD) and various levels of depressive symptoms in women in the United States.
Methods.
This is a cross-sectional design.
All data were collected from NHANES 2011-2012 and 2013-2014.
The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was the primary variable used to index depressive symptoms.
SAD was assessed using an abdominal caliper.
We stratified participates into three groups according to SAD (trisection): T1: low (11.8-18.4 cm), T2: middle (18.5-22.8 cm), and T3: high (22.9-40.1 cm).
Other data were collected following the NHANES protocols.
We aimed to investigate the effects of obesity on the depression in the NHANES populations.
Results.
A total of 4477 women were enrolled in the final study population.
Participants with a high SAD had the highest risk of clinical depression symptoms (OR=1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.4), which was, in particular, the case for moderate-severe depression (OR=1.4, 95% CI: 1.1-1.7) and severe depression (OR=1.4, 95% CI: 1.0-1.9).
We also found a significant relationship between SAD and BMI (r=0.836).
We did, however, not find a significant relationship between BMI and severe depression.
Conclusions.
SAD had a better correlation with clinical depression symptoms than BMI, especially regarding severe depression symptoms.
