What is the impact of obesity on quality of life and depression in patients with heart failure?
Evangelista et al. (2006) conducted a study to evaluate the impact of obesity on quality of life and depression in patients with heart failure. They found that obesity was associated with lower quality of life and higher levels of depression in patients with heart failure. Furthermore, Katz et al. (2000) reported that obesity had a significant negative impact on health-related quality of life in patients with chronic illness.
