During this time, we know one cause of obesity is stress. However, it turns out the study said that stress could be causing some weight gain, even not at all.
Site New York Daily News says that a researcher, Jane Wardle launch about 36 studies that looked for associations between stress and weight gain. Researchers from University College London found that the majority of studies found no association between the level of stress a person with the increase of their weight.
The results showed that there was little correlation between weight gain with stress. "We assume that there will be a very close link between stress and obesity. Mengatkana common view that stress contributes to weight gain," said Andrew Steptoe, who also took part in this research. However, when investigated further with measurable scientific studies, the effect is shocking, just a little, he added.
This study analyzed 32 international studies conducted between 1990-2000s. Everything in studying the stress levels of participants, then the volunteers examined again to see if there is a relationship between stress and weight gain.
The participants examined the stress of the work, while others observed about other life stress (illness, divorce, or a daily problem.) In general, 69 percent of the study did not find a clear relationship between levels of stress and weight gain, while 25 percent found no relationship between levels of stress and weight gain.
The remaining 6 percent found severe stress associated with less weight gain over time. When the results are collected, there is little correlation between high levels of stress and weight gain and is more inclined towards men than women.
Steptoe warned that the impact of stress on body weight may be only a small on average, but will certainly be very different for every individual. This type of stress, whether related to work, a particular problem in life, can also affect weight gain. However, this measure was not yet known.
In essence, based on recent scientific studies, stress does not have a very big role in adding weight. However, everyone has different body resistance. It could be the result of every person is different and there are no data to support this.
But the study does not say if she stressed, the tendency he will eat or snacking and it can cause weight gain. Even so, it could not hurt to maintain a healthy body and mind to avoid stress in everyday life, huh?
