GREATER KAILASH, India - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Winter is related to depression and now theresults of a 5-year study suggests that depression predicts an increase in abdominal obesity (visceral fat accumulation) said Padma Shri & Dr. B.C. Roy National Awardee, Dr. KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India. This is why depression increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. People with depressive symptoms" accumulate more visceral fat than their counterparts without depression.

The findings, reported in the journal "Archives of General Psychiatry", come from a study of 2,088 well-functioning adults, between 70 and 79 years of age, who were enrolled in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study.

Abdominal obesity is determined by waist circumference. In the study depression roughly doubled the odds of gaining visceral fat. One of the factors may be that depression is linked to more refined carbohydrate craving and resultant visceral obesity.
