However, few studies have assessed these variables in the same study. The first objective is to compare, in a natural setting environment, the profile of women reporting lower or higher levels of depressive symptoms in terms of food intake, eating behaviors and attitudes, and BMI. The second objective is to test mediational models for which the link between depressive symptoms and food intake would be mediated by eating behaviors and attitudes or BMI. Weight-preoccupied women were recruited (n = 323), and their level of depressive symptoms was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory. The median score was used to create two groups (lower ≤ 13; higher > 13). A web-based food-frequency questionnaire, the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire, and the Intuitive Eating Scale were completed. BMI was calculated from reported body weight and height. Compared to women with a lower level of depressive symptoms, those with a higher level of depressive symptoms reported a higher energy intake (p = 0.02), and a higher consumption of savoury foods (p = 0.02). These women also had higher scores of disinhibition (p < 0.0001) and susceptibility to hunger (p = 0.0002), ate less intuitively (p < 0.03), and had a higher BMI (p = 0.005). Association between depressive symptoms and energy intake was mediated by disinhibition, susceptibility to hunger and eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, while the role of BMI was less clear. Regarding another component of food intake, association between depressive symptoms and consumption of savoury foods was mediated by disinhibition and eating for physical rather than emotional reasons. In summary, it seems essential to be aware of the presence of depressive symptoms and to pay attention to eating behaviors and attitudes in interventions among weight-preoccupied women.
- PublicationAccès libreAssociations entre les symptômes dépressifs, les habitudes et les comportements alimentaires et l'indice de masse corporelle chez la femme(2012) Maltais-Giguère, Julie; Bégin, Catherine; Provencher, VéroniqueDans un contexte où la prévalence de l'excès de poids et de l'obésité est élevée, la préoccupation à l'égard du poids est très répandue, et ce, particulièrement chez les femmes. Les conséquences du surpoids sur la santé en font un enjeu majeur de santé publique. En lien avec la problématique du poids, la présence de symptômes dépressifs est également un enjeu important étant donné la prévalence élevée de la dépression, de ses impacts sur la santé et de la vulnérabilité des femmes. Ces deux problématiques pourraient aussi avoir des impacts non négligeables sur les habitudes et les comportements alimentaires. Ce mémoire est consacré à une description plus exhaustive de ces problématiques. Dans le but de fournir un portrait plus précis des femmes préoccupées par leur poids et/ou démontrant des symptômes dépressifs, l'objectif principal du projet de recherche présenté est de mieux comprendre les associations entre les symptômes dépressifs, les habitudes alimentaires, les attitudes et comportements alimentaires et l'indice de masse corporelle chez cette clientèle.
