Depression often emerges during adolescence and persists into adulthood. Thus, it is critical to study risk factors that contribute to the development of depression in adolescence. One set of risk factors that has been recently studied in adolescent depression research is eating- and weight-related disturbances (EWRDs). EWRDs encompass negative cognitions related to one's body or physical appearance, negative attitudes toward eating, and unhealthy weight control behaviors. However, there have been no comprehensive reviews of EWRDs and depression research that are contextualized within developmental frameworks of adolescent depression. Thus, this review will summarize research findings on the relation between EWRDs and depression in adolescence using a cognitive vulnerability developmental framework. First, a brief overview of epidemiological findings on depression is provided in order to highlight the importance of examining depression in adolescence. Second, a cognitive vulnerability developmental framework that can be used to conceptualize depression in adolescence is described. Next, theories and findings on EWRDs and depression in adolescence are summarized within this framework. Research limitations and suggestions for future research are provided. Finally, implications of this review related to the assessment, intervention, and prevention of depression in adolescence are provided.
抑郁症常常在青少年时期出现，并持续到成年期。因此，研究导致青少年抑郁的风险因素至关重要。最近在青少年抑郁研究中，一组风险因素是与饮食和体重相关的障碍（EWRDs）。EWRDs 包括与身体或外貌有关的消极认知、对饮食的消极态度和不健康的体重控制行为。然而，目前还没有对 EWRD 和青少年抑郁研究的综合综述，这些研究是在青少年抑郁的发展框架内进行的。因此，本综述将使用认知易损性发展框架，总结 EWRD 和青少年抑郁之间关系的研究结果。首先，简要概述了关于抑郁的流行病学研究结果，以强调研究青少年抑郁的重要性。其次，描述了一个可以用来概念化青少年抑郁的认知易损性发展框架。接下来，在这个框架内总结了关于 EWRD 和青少年抑郁的理论和研究结果。提供了研究限制和对未来研究的建议。最后，提供了与青少年抑郁的评估、干预和预防相关的本综述的意义。
