Obese people are more likely to have a mood or anxiety disorder compared with individuals who are not obese, a new study shows. However, it is not clear if obesity causes these problems or if the psychiatric disorders lead to obesity.

"The street probably goes both ways in terms of which comes first or which causes the other," Dr. Gregory E. Simon of the Center for Health Studies, Group Health Cooperative in Seattle told Reuters Health.

"The people who live with this every day, they know this already," he added. "What we're doing is sort of putting some numbers on it from a public health perspective."

Simon and his team looked at a nationally representative sample of 9,125 men and women who provided detailed information on their mental health in in-person surveys.

People with body mass indexes of 30 or higher were 21 percent more likely to have experienced major depression at some point in their lives compared with slimmer individuals, and obesity boosted lifetime risk of bipolar disorder by 47 percent.

Obese people were also 27 percent more likely to suffer from a panic disorder or agoraphobia, the fear of going places where help might not be available, which typically includes the fear of crowds, bridges or being alone outside.

However, the researchers found, obese people had a 22-percent lower lifetime risk of having a substance abuse disorder.

No differences in these associations were found between men and women.

However, the association between obesity and mood disorders was statistically significant only among non-Hispanic whites and those with 12 or more years of education. Because obesity is less common among those groups, Simon notes, it may be that it is more heavily stigmatized and hence more likely to cause depression.

He and his colleagues are now conducting additional research to investigate the question of how obesity may influence mental health, and vice versa, by looking at diet and physical activity.

Five types of foods migraine sufferers should go easy on

After celebrating our nation's independence this week, the National Headache Foundation wants to help America's migraine sufferers be free from their diet-related headaches.

Dietary triggers do not necessarily contribute to migraines in all sufferers, but particular foods can trigger attacks in certain individuals.

Here are five groups of foods the foundation recommends avoiding this summer. For more information on headache causes and treatments, visit www.headaches.org.

• Dairy products, primarily ripened cheeses such as cheddar, emmentaler, stilton, brie and camembert. Cheeses that are permitted include American, cottage, cream cheese and Velveeta. Migraine sufferers should have no more than a half a cup of sour cream daily.

• Meats and fish. Herring (pickled or dried), sausage, bologna, bacon, pepperoni, salami, summer sausage, hot dogs, lunch meats, chicken livers and pâté.

• Fruits and vegetables. Broad beans, lima beans, fava beans, snow peas. No more than half a cup of citrus fruits, figs, raisins, papayas, avocados or red plums daily. Less than 1/2 banana daily.

Grains. Breads and crackers containing cheese or chocolate. Also, sourdough bread.

• Other food items with monosodium glutamate (MSG) such as soy sauce, meat tenderizers or seasoned salt. Fermented, pickled or marinated foods, aspartame, chocolate, nuts, peanut butter and pizza.

Also avoid excessive amounts of caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee or cola drinks. Migraine sufferers should have no more than two cups daily.

Diabetic women need fracture prevention strategy

After 22 years of following women with type 1 or 2 diabetes, researchers detected a statistically significant increased risk of hip fracture, highlighting the need for prevention efforts in this population.

"Increased risk of fracture has not traditionally been considered a consequence of diabetes mellitus," Dr. Mohsen Janghorbani from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran noted in an email to Reuters Health.

"However, this study, as well as several other observational studies, has demonstrated that individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of hip fracture and fall, despite higher weight than nondiabetic control individuals," the researcher added.

The findings are based on data from 109,983 women aged 34 to 59 years in 1980 who were followed through 2002. As participants in the Nurses' Health Study, the women were asked about their history and treatment of diabetes and other potential risk factors for hip fracture.

During the study period, 1,398 women (1.2 percent) fractured a hip, Janghorbani and colleagues at Harvard University, Boston, note in the July issue of Diabetes Care.

Compared with nondiabetic women, after factoring in the effects of age, the risk of fracture was seven times higher in women with type 1 diabetes and almost twice as high in those with type 2 diabetes, the researchers report.

After further adjusting the data for the effects of weight, smoking, physical activity, menopausal status, postmenopausal hormone use, and daily intake of calcium, vitamin D, and protein, the risk of hip fracture was more than six times higher women with type 1 diabetes and more that two-times higher in women with type 2 diabetes.

The mechanisms involved in these negative effects on fracture risk in diabetes are not entirely clear, the investigators note. The risk of hip fracture increased with longer duration of type 2 diabetes; having type 2 diabetes for 12 or more years was associated with a three-times higher risk of hip fracture, compared with no diabetes.

The risk of hip fracture also increased with insulin treatment. This may indicate a more severe disease process, the team notes, rather than being a direct contributor to hip fracture. On the other hand, insulin may exert negative effects on the bones. The role of insulin in fracture risk is uncertain, they add, and requires more study.

Overall, "the results of this study highlight the need for fracture and fall prevention strategies in patients with diabetes," Janghorbani concluded.
