Mattering and Self-Esteem as Bulwarks Against the Consequences of Financial Strain for Loneliness in Later Life: Differentiating Between- and Within-Person Processes.

Financial strain likely constitutes a principal risk for loneliness in later-life, but a strong sense of mattering and self-esteem may mitigate these consequences by both offsetting and buffering the influence of financial strain. We test these arguments using data from a national longitudinal survey of older adults gathered between 2021 and 2022 ( = 2384), as nations emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic. Application of a within-between modelling strategy facilitates differentiation of inter-individual (i.

Factors Associated with Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in Men and Women: Findings from a Population-Based Study in Iran.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between personal and clinical characteristics of adults in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS) with depression, anxiety, and stress.

Methods: Data of 2272 adults participating in the 6 phase of TLGS were used for univariate analysis to investigate the association between socio-demographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics and participants' emotional states. Thereupon, the predictors with a value<0.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Those with Persistent or Transient Obesity Phenotypes during Two Decades: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.

Introduction: The current study aimed to investigate the association of three stable obesity phenotypes (persistent metabolically healthy normal weight [P MHNW], persistent metabolically healthy obese [P MHO], persistent metabolically unhealthy obese [P MUO]), and one transient (MHO to MUO) obesity phenotype throughout 18 years with health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Methods: 1,932 participants (649 men and 1,283 women) who completed the HRQoL questionnaire during 2016-2019 were recruited in the current investigation. Based on the body mass index and metabolic status, participants were classified into four obesity phenotypes, including (1) P MHNW, (2) P MHO, (3) P MUO, and (4) transient from MHO to MUO.

Body mass index trajectories from childhood concerning emotional states in young adulthood: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.

This study aimed to identify body mass index (BMI) trajectories from childhood and their relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in young adulthood. A total of 687 children aged 4-18 years were recruited from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Throughout 18 years of follow-up, BMI was measured every 3 years for a maximum of 6 data points.

Barriers to weight management in pregnant mothers with obesity: a qualitative study on mothers with low socioeconomic background.

Background: Maternal obesity is a public health issue that could affect both women's and children's health. This qualitative study aimed to identify barriers to weight management of pregnant women with obesity and low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Methods: The current qualitative study has been conducted using a grounded theory approach by analyzing data collected from in-depth interviews with clients of Tehran's public health care centers for prenatal care.

Emotional states of different obesity phenotypes: a sex-specific study in a west-Asian population.

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the associations of obesity phenotypes with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms among adults in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS).

Methods: Depression, anxiety, and stress levels of participants from the TLGS were examined among different obesity phenotypes in this cross-sectional study. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m, and metabolically unhealthy status based on having metabolic syndrome (MetS) or type 2 diabetes.
