Abstract

Despite numerous studies regarding obesity (OB) in adult bipolar disorder (BP), there are few studies on this topic among adolescents.

Participants were 75 treatment-seeking adolescents, ages 13-19 years, with BP-I, -II, or -not otherwise specified, and 47 adolescents without major psychiatric illness. Diagnoses and clinical characteristics were assessed using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children, Present and Lifetime version (KSADS-PL). Family psychiatric history was assessed using the Family History Screen. OB was defined as adjusted body-mass index ≥95th percentile. Variables associated with OB in univariate analyses informed variable selection for within-group logistic regression analysis among BP adolescents. BP participants had a significantly higher rate of OB (18%) compared to controls (4%; χ2 = 5.3; p = 0.02). BP remained a significant predictor for OB when controlling for race (odds ratio [OR] = 5.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-24.0, p = 0.04). In univariate analyses among BP adolescen...Continue Reading
