Due to obesity, the body is harmed in many ways, but in research, it has been said that social reasons push obese people into depression.
Obesity is not only injurious to health, but it also pushes the person suffering from obesity into depression. In a large-scale study, researchers have proved that both social and physical factors push a person suffering from obesity to despair and become depressed. It also does not benefit fat people. The results of this study have been published in the journal 'Human Molecular Genetics.
Researchers said that one in four people in the UK are obese and children are increasingly falling prey to it. He said that obesity is becoming a global challenge today. Many researchers have come to the fore about physical health due to obesity, but researchers have found in their research that mental health is also affected a lot due to obesity. Researchers at the University of Exeter studied genetic data from 1.45 million people in the UK to test the mental health of obese individuals. In this detailed study of its kind, the researchers identified genetic variants that were associated with high BMI.
Researchers designed a set of questions to assess depression, anxiety, and well-being in these people. The researchers asked people with two previously proven genetic variants. It was found that because of one set of genes, people suffered from obesity but they were more metabolically healthy. That is, such people did not have problems like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes. Individuals who got the second set of genes were also obese and metabolically weak. That is, such people were more prone to high blood pressure and diabetes. The study also found that both physical and social factors affected both sets of genes. Genes caused physical problems. Whereas due to society, mental problems were seen.
