Determination of the Relation between Metabolic Syndrome and Anger in Obese Women
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the relation between metabolic syndrome and anger in obese women. Material and Methods: The study included 78 obese women presenting to the diet outpatient clinic of Kahramanmaraş Onikişubat Public Health Center between 1 June and 30 August 2014. Results: The mean age of the participants was 38.1±11.1 years (min=18, max=62). Forty-two participants (53.8%) were diagnosed as metabolic syndrome, but 36 (46.2%) did not fulfill the criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Forty-six participants (59.0%) had obesity, 16 (20.5%) had severe obesity and 16 (20.5%) had morbid obesity. The participants diagnosed as metabolic syndrome had 21.1±5.4 and those without metabolic syndrome had 22.7±6.4 for the subscale of continuous anger. The participants with metabolic syndrome got significantly higher scores for continuous anger (p=0.011). The participants with metabolic syndrome and those without metabolic syndrome had similar scores for the subscale anger-in (p=0.058) and the subscale anger control (p=0.196). The participants with metabolic syndrome got significantly lower scores for the subscale anger-out (p=0.004). Conclusion: The study revealed that obese women diagnosed as metabolic syndrome had lower scores for Continuous Anger-Anger Manner Scale. Offering social and psychological support for people treated for obesity is important for mental health of these people. Follow-up of the patients offered treatment for obesity by a team including a psychiatrist can increase these patients’ compliance with their diet and help to prevent comorbid psychopathologies.
