Anxiety is the most prevalent type of mental disorder and a significant health concern. Crosssectional
studies have detected a positive association between obesity and anxiety. What is less
clear is whether weight loss can reduce anxiety. We sought to answer three questions:
1. Can weight loss improve symptoms of anxiety in the overweight and obese population?
2. Does the macronutrient content of energy-restricted diets that induce weight loss affect
anxiety?
3. Is the change in anxiety related to the amount of weight lost?
We investigated the findings from seven interventional studies, which induced weight loss by
dietary intervention, in overweight and obese individuals, using established anxiety assessment
tools. Mean weight loss ranged from 0.7 to 18.6 kg (SD 4.5) and in three of the studies, anxiety fell
by 9.2% to 11.4% and did not change in four studies. When macronutrient content was considered,
only one of four interventional studies and one pilot study reported a beneficial effect of a
moderate-fat diet on anxiety. There appears to be no strong evidence to indicate that diet-induced
weight loss has a beneficial effect on anxiety, however, none of the diet-induced weight loss
studies assessed had a detrimental effect on anxiety.

Aim:
Background:
Diabetes education has become a priority area in primary and secondary care, and many education programmes are now embedded within a patient’s care package. There are few contemporaneous explorations of patients’ views about lifestyle self-management. Such research is vital in order to identify areas that require further support, refinement or enhancement in terms of patient education.
Methods:
Focus groups were held with patients recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (n516, 38% female, aged 45–73 years). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with HPs (n57). Discussions focussed on self-management specifically in relation to making dietary and physical activity changes. All discussions were tape recorded, transcribed and analysed by emergent themes analysis using NVivo to manage the coded data.
Findings:
Barriers were divided into six main categories: difficulty changing well- stablished habits, negative perception of the ‘new’ or recommended regimen, barriers relating to social circumstances, lack of knowledge and understanding, lack of motivation and barriers relating to the practicalities of making lifestyle changes. HPs generally echoed the views of patients. In conclusion, even against a background of diabetes education, recently diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes discussed a wide range of barriers to self-management of diet and physical activity. The findings could help to provide HPs with a deeper understanding of the needs of recently diagnosed patients and may help refine current diabetes education activities and inform the development of educational resources.
