Weight Stigma, Chronic Stress, Unhealthy Diet, and Obesity in Chilean Adults
International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Daniela Gómez-pérez, Margarita Cancino, Patricia I. Moreno, Manuel S. OrtizAbstract:Background Obesity is highly prevalent around the world, including in Chile. Although various psychological factors have been previously associated with obesity, there has been less attention on the role of weight stigma as a determinant of obesity in Chile. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to examine the direct effect of weight stigma on obesity and determine whether chronic stress and Unhealthy Diet mediate the relationship between weight stigma and obesity. Methods Faculty and staff from a Chilean university enrolled in the Chilean Study of Psychological Predictors of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome and completed anthropometric measurements and measures of weight stigma, chronic stress, and Unhealthy Diet. Results Three-hundred and eighty-three participants ( M _age = 45 years old; 58% female) were included in the present analysis. Structural equation model analyses demonstrated a direct effect of weight stigma on obesity, chronic stress, and Unhealthy Diet. However, chronic stress and Unhealthy Diet did not mediate the relationship between weight stigma and obesity. Conclusions Weight stigma is an important determinant of obesity and is associated with high levels of chronic stress and Unhealthy Diet in Chilean adults. Our results provide further support for the multifactorial nature of obesity and can inform future interventions aimed promoting weight loss in people with overweight and obesity.

prenatal Unhealthy Diet insulin like growth factor 2 gene igf2 methylation and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in youth with early onset conduct problems
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: Jolien Rijlaarsdam, Charlotte A M Cecil, Esther Walton, Maurissa Sydney Chapman Mesirow, Caroline L Relton, Tom R Gaunt, Wendy L Mcardle, Edward D. BarkerAbstract:textabstractBackground: Conduct problems (CP) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are often comorbid and have each been linked to 'Unhealthy Diet'. Early-life Diet also associates with DNA methylation of the insulin-like growth factor 2 gene (IGF2), involved in fetal and neural development. We investigated the degree to which prenatal high-fat and -sugar Diet might relate to ADHD symptoms via IGF2 DNA methylation for early-onset persistent (EOP) versus low CP youth. Methods: Participants were 164 youth with EOP (n = 83) versus low (n = 81) CP drawn from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We assessed if the interrelationships between high-fat and -sugar Diet (prenatal, postnatal), IGF2 methylation (birth and age 7, collected from blood), and ADHD symptoms (age 7-13) differed for EOP versus low CP youth. Results: Prenatal 'Unhealthy Diet' was positively associated with IGF2 methylation at birth for both the EOP and low CP youth. For EOP only: (a) higher IGF2 methylation predicted ADHD symptoms; and (b) prenatal 'Unhealthy Diet' was associated with higher ADHD symptoms indirectly via higher IGF2 methylation. Conclusions: Preventing 'Unhealthy Diet' in pregnancy might reduce the risk of ADHD symptoms in EOP youth via lower offspring IGF2 methylation.

maternal depression symptoms Unhealthy Diet and child emotional behavioural dysregulation
Psychological Medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Laura Pinacamacho, Sarah K. G. Jensen, Darya Gaysina, Edward D. BarkerAbstract:Background: Maternal depression and Unhealthy Diet are well-known risk factors for adverse child emotional–behavioural outcomes, but their developmental relationships during the prenatal and postnatal periods are largely uncharted. This study sought to examine the inter-relationships between maternal depression symptoms and Unhealthy Diet (assessed during pregnancy and postnatal periods) in relation to child emotional–behavioural dysregulation (assessed at the ages of 2, 4 and 7 years). Method: In a large prospective birth cohort of 7814 mother–child pairs, path analysis was used to examine the independent and inter-related associations of maternal depression symptoms and Unhealthy Diet with child dysregulation. Results: Higher prenatal maternal depression symptoms were prospectively associated with higher Unhealthy Diet, both during pregnancy and the postnatal period, which, in turn, was associated with higher child dysregulation up to the age of 7 years. In addition, during pregnancy, higher maternal depression symptoms and Unhealthy Diet were each independently associated with higher child dysregulation up to the age of 7 years. These results were robust to other prenatal, perinatal and postnatal confounders (such as parity and birth complications, poverty, maternal education, etc.). Conclusions: Maternal depression symptoms and Unhealthy Diet show important developmental associations, but are also independent risk factors for abnormal child development.
