Abstract
BACKGROUND Various factors motivate people to undertake treatment for obesity. Among others they include health benefits, willingness to please others, and dissatisfaction with one's appearance. The present study aimed to assess body size dissatisfaction in patients with obesity seeking and not seeking treatment for obesity. METHODS Two-hundred-sixteen adult subjects (154 women, 62 men) including 80 people with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 starting treatment for obesity (BMI 35.7 ± 5.3 kg/m2) and 136 volunteers with obesity (BMI 34.7 ± 4.3 kg/m2) not seeking treatment for obesity, were enrolled. Body size satisfaction was assessed using the Figure Rating Scale adapted by Stunkard. RESULTS Patients with obesity starting obesity treatment had more often a high level of body size dissatisfaction than volunteers with obesity not seeking the treatment (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the distribution of body size dissatisfaction in women (p < 0.05), but not in men (p = 0.47). CONCLUSION Patients with obesity, especially women, seeking obesity treatment more often represent a high level of body size dissatisfaction than volunteers with obesity not seeking treatment for obesity. This implies the need for public health campaigns to address negative attitudes or misconceptions about obesity and its treatment. Placing more attention and emphasis on body size dissatisfaction in more vulnerable women with obesity may help to define personal motivations and goals, strengthen the doctor-patient relationship and better adapt therapeutic strategies.

Course of depressive symptomatology and its association with serum uric acid in one-anastomosis gastric bypass patients. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18405.

Abstract
The changes in depressive symptomatology during the first year following one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) were evaluated and its association with uric acid (sUA). Fifty patients were included in this analysis. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for measuring depressive symptomatology, blood samples, and anthropometric measurements were assessed before (T0), at 6 (T6), and 12 months (T12) after surgery. There was a significant reduction in BDI total score at T6 (− 5.6 (95% CI − 2.1, − 9.1) points; p = 0.001) and at T12 (− 4.3 (95% CI − 0.9, − 7.9) points; p = 0.011). BMI loss was unrelated to depressive symptomatology. Patients with moderate to severe depressive symptomatology presented lower sUA levels than patients with none or minimal to mild (p = 0.028). ROC analysis revealed that sUA levels below 5.0 at T6 and 4.5 mg/dl at T12 had a prognostic accuracy for depression severity. Furthermore, delta sUA was significantly associated with delta BMI (β = 0.473; p = 0.012) and delta waist circumference (β = 0.531; p = 0.003). These findings support an improvement in depressive symptomatology in the first year postoperatively, however, without relation to BMI loss. Patients with moderate to severe depressive symptomatology presented with lower sUA levels over time. Therefore, sUA could be useful to predict moderate to severe depressive symptomatology in patients undergoing OAGB in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to describe the main psycho-social factors related to obesity in an adult population and to develop a unified construct (psycho-social profiles), to explore the associations between socioeconomic characteristics and these psycho-social profiles. METHODS In its second wave, the RECORD Study assessed 6460 participants aged 30-79 years living in the Paris region between 2011 and 2014. Factor analyses followed by cluster analysis were applied to identify psycho-social profiles related to obesity. The two psycho-social profiles were adverse profile-negative body image, underestimation of the impact of weight in quality of life, low weight-related self-efficacy, and weight-related external locus of control; and favorable profile-positive body image, high self-efficacy, and internal locus of control. The relationship between three socioeconomic dimensions-current socioeconomic status, childhood socioeconomic status, and neighborhood education status-and psycho-social profiles was assessed through binomial logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, depression, living alone, and weight status. RESULTS Contrary to hypotheses, there were no associations between socioeconomic characteristics and obesity-related psycho-social profiles after adjustment for body mass index. Depressive symptoms (OR 2.21, 95% CI 2.70, 4.04) and being female (3.31, 95% CI 2.70, 4.40) were associated with an adverse psycho-social profile. CONCLUSIONS Psycho-social profiles could help to understand the multifactorial nature of the determinants of obesity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, cross-sectional descriptive study.
