The role of anxiety and depression in understanding the relationship between coping and weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Maladaptive coping predicted less weight loss for patients with high levels of anxiety and/or depression. Interpersonal coping predicted more weight loss for patients with low levels of anxiety and/or depression. Clinicians should take patient levels of anxiety and depression into account when making recommendations to promote weight loss among patients pursuing bariatric surgery.PMID:38001014 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.10.004
