Recovery from substance use disorders (SUD) is multifactorial. Being overweight could negatively impact physiological and psychological health-related parameters. Using model selection, we examined associations between body mass index (BMI) and negative emotional states (NES; e.g., stress, anxiety, depression) in 54 men with SUD and under treatment in five different therapeutic recovery centers. We found that BMI was positively associated with stress (p < .001), anxiety (p < .001), and depression (p = .002). Therefore, our findings suggest that decreasing the accumulation of body fat might contribute to improving mental health in individuals with SUD during recovery.
物质使用障碍（SUD）的康复是多因素的。超重可能会对生理和心理健康相关参数产生负面影响。我们使用模型选择方法，研究了54名正在五个不同治疗康复中心接受治疗的患有SUD的男性的体重指数（BMI）与负面情绪状态（NES；例如压力、焦虑、抑郁）之间的关联。我们发现BMI与压力（p < .001）、焦虑（p < .001）和抑郁（p = .002）呈正相关。因此，我们的研究结果表明，减少体内脂肪堆积可能有助于改善SUD患者康复期间的心理健康。
