Longitudinal associations among depression, obesity and alcohol use disorders in young adulthood
General Hospital Psychiatry Volume 31, Issue 5, September-October 2009, Pages 442-450

This study examined concurrent and prospective relations between clinical depression, obesity and alcohol use disorders during young adulthood to better understand common etiology and the progression of co-occurrence.

Results show that depression, obesity and alcohol use disorders are interrelated conditions for women. A greater understanding of reasons underlying the co-occurrence of these conditions would benefit prevention and intervention efforts.
