Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
We propose to: * Conduct cross-sectional assessments of depression, disability, health-related quality of life, eating patterns, and eating attitudes in a population-based sample approximately 6000 women aged 40-60 with over-sampling of women with BMI greater than 30 kg/m2. * Among obese women free of depression, enroll approximately 100 in a 6-month standard behavior therapy weight management program. * Among obese women with significant depression, randomly assign 200 to either a 6-month standard behavior therapy weight management program or a combined cognitive-behavior therapy program focused on both depression and weight management. * Complete follow up assessments of weight, depressive symptoms, and functional status in all three treatment groups for 12 months following enrollment Screening and follow-up data will be used to address the following questions: * Association between depression and obesity among middle-aged women * Specific effects of depression and obesity on functional status, disability, and health services utilization * Impact of depression on participation in and outcomes of a standardized weight management program * Benefit of combined treatment (focused on depression and weight management) above that of standardized behavioral therapy for obese women with significant depressive symptoms.
