Abdominal obesity (AO) is characterized by excess adipose tissue, and is recognized as a metabolic risk that affects physical and mental health, particularly in women since they are more prone to mental health problems like depression. We evaluated the association between AO and depressive symptoms in Peruvian women of reproductive age (18–49 years). In this cross-sectional observational study, we used data from the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey (DHS) for 2018 and 2019 to assess the presence of depressive symptoms (using the Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9]: cut-off score ≥10) and AO (measured by abdominal circumference; cut-off score ≥88 cm) in 17 067 women. We observed a 64,55% prevalence of AO and 7,61% of depressive symptoms in the female population. Furthermore, 8,23% of women with AO had depressive symptoms (p <0,05). Initially, women with AO appeared to have a 26% higher risk of depressive symptoms compared to women without AO (p=0,028); however, after adjustment for covariates, no statistically significant association was observed. Although both conditions are common in peruvian women of reproductive age, the association between them is lost after adjusting the variables.
