The bidirectional stress-obesity relation: mediating role of inflammation and gut microbiota.
This project will elucidate mechanistic pathways in the bidirectional stress-obesity relation in childhood community and clinical samples: (a) longitudinal pathways in existing cohorts; (b) contrasting groups on depression and overweight to unravel individual risk factors; and (c) two interventions to substantiate new treatments i.e. probiotics in depression and emotion-regulation training in obesity.
