RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The current study examined experienced weight stigma (EWS), internalized weight bias (IWB), and maladaptive eating patterns (ME) among sexual minority (SM) and heterosexual individuals. METHODS: The sample consisted of cisgender heterosexual and SM men and women.â¯Participants were drawn from introductory psychology classes and a variety of supplemental recruitment methods (Facebook, Instagram, MTURK, etc.). RESULTS: SM individuals reported higher levels of EWS, IWB, and maladaptive eating patterns than heterosexual individuals. Heterosexual men reported the lowest levels of EWS, IWB, and ME compared to all other groups. Additionally, there was a significant association between greater EWS and IWB and greater ME. Gender identity and sexual orientation impacted the strength of the relationship between IWB and ME and, to a lesser extent, EWS and ME. CONCLUSION: This investigation contributes to knowledge of the impact of gender identity and sexual orientation on EWS and IWB, and demonstrates that IWB and EWS are significant concerns for the SM community, especially in relation to ME. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Baseline depressive symptoms are associated with subsequent adverse cardiovascular (CV) events in subjects with and without diabetes but the impact of persistent symptoms vs. improvement remains controversial. OBJECTIVE: Examine long-term changes in depressive symptoms in individuals with and without diabetes and the associated risk for adverse CV events. DESIGN: REGARDS is a prospective cohort study of CV risk factors in 30,000 participants aged 45 years and older. PARTICIPANTS: N = 16,368 (16.5% with diabetes mellitus) who remained in the cohort an average of 11.1 years later and who had complete data. MAIN MEASURES: Depressive symptoms were measured using the 4-item Centers for Epidemiologic Study of Depression (CES-D) questionnaire at baseline and again at a mean follow-up of 5.07 (SD = 1.66) years. Adjudicated incident stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), CV mortality, and a composite outcome were assessed in a subsequent follow-up period of 6.1 (SD = 2.6) years. METHODS: The association of changes in depressive symptoms (CES-D scores) across 5 years with incident CV events was assessed using Cox proportional hazards modeling. KEY RESULTS: Compared to participants with no depressive symptoms at either time point, participants without diabetes but with persistently elevated depressive symptoms at both baseline and follow-up demonstrated a significantly increased risk of incident stroke (HR (95% CI) = 1.84 (1.03, 3.30)), a pattern which was substantially more prevalent in blacks (HR (95% CI) = 2.64 (1.48, 4.72)) compared to whites (HR (95% CI) = 1.06 (0.50, 2.25)) and in those not taking anti-depressants (HR (95% CI) = 2.01 (1.21, 3.35)) in fully adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS: The persistence of depressive symptoms across 5 years of follow-up in participants without diabetes identifies individuals at increased risk for incident stroke. This was particularly evident in black participants and among those not taking anti-depressants.

OBJECTIVES: Our aim in this study was to determine whether a cognitive-behavioural therapy plus small changes lifestyle intervention can produce comparable improvements in insulin users vs patients not using insulin with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D) and comorbid depressive or regimen-related distress (RRD) symptoms. METHODS: This study is a secondary analysis of Collaborative Care Management for Distress and Depression in Rural Diabetes Study, a randomized, controlled trial of a 16-session, severity-tailored cognitive-behavioural therapy plus small changes lifestyle intervention compared with usual care. Outcomes included glycated hemoglobin (A1C), regimen-related distress, depression, medication adherence and diabetes self-care. Our investigation provides 2 sets of contrasts: 1) insulin users in the intervention group compared with insulin users in the usual-care group and 2) insulin users compared with noninsulin users in the intervention group only. RESULTS: Of the 139 participants, 72 (52%) were using insulin at baseline and had significantly higher levels of A1C (10.2±2.1% vs 8.9±1.6%) and RRD (3.3±1.4 vs 2.8±1.1), and significantly poorer medication adherence (5.2±2.1 days/wk vs 5.5±1.7 days/wk). Intervention patients using insulin exhibited significantly greater reductions in RRD and marginally significant improvements in medication adherence and A1C compared with insulin users in usual care. Within the intervention group, changes in RRD, medication adherence and A1C did not differ significantly by insulin use. CONCLUSIONS: Tailored cognitive-behavioural therapy with a small-changes lifestyle intervention improved elevated RRD and A1C outcomes at least as effectively in insulin users as nonâinsulin users. Future powered studies need to address the role of insulin use in uptake and treatment outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) plus lifestyle counseling in primary care on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in rural adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and comorbid depressive or regimen-related distress (RRD) symptoms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This study was a randomized controlled trial of a 16-session severity-tailored CBT plus lifestyle counseling intervention compared with usual care. Outcomes included changes in HbA1c, RRD, depressive symptoms, self-care behaviors, and medication adherence across 12 months. RESULTS: Patients included 139 diverse, rural adults (mean age 52.6 ± 9.5 years; 72% black; BMI 37.0 ± 9.0 kg/m2) with T2D (mean HbA1c 9.6% [81 mmol/mol] ± 2.0%) and comorbid depressive or distress symptoms. Using intent-to-treat analyses, patients in the intervention experienced marginally significant improvements in HbA1c (-0.92 ± 1.81 vs. -0.31 ± 2.04; P = 0.06) compared with usual care. However, intervention patients experienced significantly greater improvements in RRD (-1.12 ± 1.05 vs. -0.31 ± 1.22; P = 0.001), depressive symptoms (-3.39 ± 5.00 vs. -0.90 ± 6.17; P = 0.01), self-care behaviors (1.10 ± 1.30 vs. 0.58 ± 1.45; P = 0.03), and medication adherence (1.00 ± 2.0 vs. 0.17 ± 1.0; P = 0.02) versus usual care. Improvement in HbA1c correlated with improvement in RRD (r = 0.3; P = 0.0001) and adherence (r = -0.23; P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Tailored CBT with lifestyle counseling improves behavioral outcomes and may improve HbA1c in rural patients with T2D and comorbid depressive and/or RRD symptoms.

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that people living with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are also at greater risk for depression and distress. If left untreated, these comorbid mental health concerns can have long-lasting impacts on medical and physical health outcomes. DESIGN: This prospective trial randomized rural men and women with uncontrolled T2D (HbA1câ¯≥â¯7.0) who screened positive for co-morbid depressive (PHQ-2â¯>â¯3) or distress (DDS-2â¯>â¯3) symptoms in a primary medical care setting to receive either: 1) 16 sessions of cognitive and/or behavioral intervention tailored to symptom severity across 12â¯months along with routine medical care, or 2) usual primary care. Outcomes included change from baseline to 12-months in HbA1c, diabetes related distress, depressive symptoms, and diabetes self-care activities. BASELINE RESULTS: 139 patients (Mean ageâ¯=â¯52.6⯱â¯9.6â¯years) with T2D from impoverished rural communities were enrolled (almost half reporting annual income of <$10,000 per year). Baseline data indicated that patients were experiencing profoundly uncontrolled T2D of a long duration (Mean HbA1câ¯=â¯9.61⯱â¯2.0; Mean BMIâ¯=â¯37.0⯱â¯9.1; Mean durationâ¯=â¯11.2⯱â¯8.9â¯years) along with high levels of distress (Mean DDS-17 Scale Scoreâ¯=â¯2.5⯱â¯1.0) and/or depressive symptoms (Mean PHQ-9 Scale Scoreâ¯=â¯9.3⯱â¯6.1). CONCLUSION: Patients with uncontrolled T2D of long duration manifest complex co-morbidities including associated obesity, depressive symptoms and/or diabetes related distress. A behavioral intervention for T2D that concurrently targets symptoms of depression and distress may lead to more effective outcomes in this high-risk population. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02863523.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of baseline sleep on baseline weight status and weight-loss responsiveness in obese adolescents. METHODS: Twenty-five obese adolescents who participated in a 19-day summer camp-based immersion treatment (IT) program completed pre-intervention measures of sleep duration and quality, and pre- and post-intervention body mass index z-scores (zBMI) and waist circumference (WC) assessments. Objective measures of sleep were obtained by actigraphy for a random subset of six participants for 1 week pre- and post-intervention. RESULTS: Shorter weekday sleep durations and more sleep debt were related to higher pre-intervention WCs (r = -0.54, p = 0.01 and r = -0.56, p = 0.01), and lower subjective sleep quality was related to higher pre-intervention zBMIs (r = -0.49, p = 0.02). Longer weekend sleep durations and more sleep debt were related to smaller reductions in pre- to post-intervention zBMIs (r = -0.47, p = 0.04 and r = -0.51, p = 0.03). For the subgroup of adolescents who wore actigraphs pre- and post-intervention, an increase in their sleep durations (d = -0.25) and a reduction in their sleep latencies (d = 0.52), zBMIs (d = 0.31), and WCs (d = 0.20) were observed. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide further evidence linking poor sleep patterns and obesity in adolescence, and suggest that sleep patterns may impact the effectiveness of pediatric obesity interventions and that IT programs may improve sleep in obese adolescents. Overall, they provide support for addressing sleep problems as part of obesity interventions.

BACKGROUND: Immersion treatment (IT) provided in a camp setting has been shown to promote short-term improvements in weight and health status in obese adolescents. However, evidence of IT's long-term efficacy and efficacy for multi-ethnic and lower socioeconomic status (SES) adolescents is limited. METHODS: This was a cohort study with a pre/post design and longitudinal follow-up. The intervention was a 19-day camp-based IT program comprising (1) a nutrition curriculum and ad-lib access to a nutritious diet, (2) several hours of physical activity daily, (3) group therapy, and (4) cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This analysis included 52 low-SES adolescents that participated in 2009 and 2010. A subgroup of 33 campers and their families was offered follow-up monthly for 10 months. Primary outcome measures were change in weight-related parameters immediately postcamp and after 10 months of follow-up. RESULTS: Campers had significant short-term improvements in mean waist circumference (mean [M], 2.6; standard deviation [SD], 3.2 cm), weight (M, 2.6; SD, 1.9 kg), BMI (M, 1.1; SD, 0.9 kg/m2), BMI z-score (M, 0.06; SD, 0.07), and percent overweight (M, 6.1; SD, 4.7). Campers offered follow-up had a modest increase in mean percent overweight (M, 2.0; SD, 8.4) during 10 months of follow-up. However, 33% experienced continuing decline in percent overweight during follow-up, and long-term follow-up was associated with significant overall (precamp vs. end of follow-up) improvements in percent overweight (M, 4.9; SD, 7.2). CONCLUSIONS: Camp-based IT with CBT is a promising intervention for improving short- and long-term weight status of low-SES adolescents. Additional research is needed to increase long-term efficacy.
