To examine the link between body mass index (BMI) and positive and negative affect after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Cross-sectional study.
Inpatient and outpatient services of a rehabilitation department in Delhi, India.
Individuals (N=142) with spinal cord injury participated in the study.
None.
Participants were asked to rate their affect using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. BMI was assessed with an SCI-specific procedure. Demographic and injury-related details (eg, level, nature, chronicity) were taken.
As expected, BMI negatively correlated with positive affect (1.70; =.043). Furthermore, the chances of younger individuals with SCI having a lower BMI is 3.49 times the odds of the older individuals having a low BMI (odds ratio [OR], 3.491; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.520-8.018). The chances of men having low affect was higher than women (OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.08-6.04).
Higher BMI might be associated with lower positive affect and contribute to a higher risk of depression, specifically in women with SCI. These results might be used to enhance the regulation of physical activity (exercises) and affect experiences through therapeutic activities and proactive counselling for individuals with SCI.
探讨脊髓损伤（SCI）后体重指数（BMI）与正负情绪之间的联系。
横断面研究。
印度德里一家康复科的住院和门诊服务机构。
142名脊髓损伤个体参与了该研究。
无。
要求参与者使用正负情绪量表对其情绪进行评分。通过特定于SCI的程序评估BMI。记录人口统计学和损伤相关细节（如损伤水平、性质、病程）。
正如预期的那样，BMI与正性情绪呈负相关（r = -1.70；P =.043）。此外，年轻的SCI个体BMI较低的几率是年长个体BMI较低几率的3.49倍（优势比[OR]，3.491；95%置信区间[CI]，1.520 - 8.018）。男性情绪低落的几率高于女性（OR，2.55；95% CI，1.08 - 6.04）。
较高的BMI可能与较低的正性情绪相关，并导致抑郁风险增加，特别是在女性SCI患者中。这些结果可用于通过治疗活动和对SCI个体的积极咨询来加强身体活动（锻炼）的调节和情绪体验。
