The more extra fat a person carries, the higher their risk of depression. 😰
New European research has found that the more extra fat a person carries, the higher their risk of depression.
The researchers used a technique called Mendelian randomization to look at the associations between fat mass, non-fat mass, height, and depression, but did not include body mass index as it does not take into account build and muscle mass. The findings, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, showed that carrying ten kilograms of excess body fat could increase the risk of depression by 17 percent. In addition, the more excess fat, the greater the probability of developing depression."Our study also indicated that the location of the fat on the body makes no difference to the risk of depression.
