Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study Finds Treating Depression Lowers Weight

A study by University of Alabama at Birmingham Assistant Professor of Sociology Belinda Needham, Ph.D. published in the June issue of the American Journal of Public Health confirms a link between abdominal obesity and depression.

The study results were:
1) those who started the study reporting higher levels of depression gained weight faster than those reporting no depression,
2) people who began the study overweight showed no changes in levels of depression regardless of weight gain or weight loss.
