Excess weight in youth can have a profound impact on emotional and social functioning. This study investigated depression, social anxiety, and health-related quality of life in overweight Arkansas youth.Sixty-three middle school students participated. Children completed the Child Depression Inventory, the Social Anxiety Scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life. Height and weight were obtained.Overweight youth were similar to normal weight youth on all measures with no statistically or clinically significant differences.Results suggest that in a community with a high rate of overweight persons (youth and adults), the impact of the youth's own weight status on their emotional state and quality of life is negligible. |
