Description
Leonardo Biagio and co-authors study pregnant women in a Brazilian cohort to test whether mental health carries the link between violence and obesity, in work from twenty twenty-four. Violence in pregnancy is common and may shape body weight through the mind. The chain had rarely been tested directly.
Four hundred women at clinics in Araraquara answered standard questionnaires on violence, mood, and general health. Over half reported some violence, with psychological violence most common in the past year. About three in five stood at risk of major depression. Women with mental health changes faced more than double the obesity risk. Statistical mediation showed mental health carried about half the violence to obesity link. Care must span social and mental ground, the authors say.
