In total, 3957 twins and singletons in the Colombo Twin and Singleton Study-Phase 2 rated their EOE behaviour and depressive symptoms, which were significantly associated (men:\u00a0r\u00a0= 0.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.06\u20130.16, women:\u00a0r\u00a0= 0.12, 95% CI 0.07\u20130.16). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-shared environmental factors explained the majority of variance in men (EOE\u00a0e2\u00a0= 87%, 95% CI 78\u201395%; depressive symptoms\u00a0e2\u00a0= 72%, 95% CI 61\u201383%) and women (EOE\u00a0e2\u00a0= 76%, 95% CI 68\u201383%; depressive symptoms\u00a0e2\u00a0= 64%, 95% CI 55\u201374%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Genetic factors were more important for EOE in women (h2\u00a0= 21%, 95% CI 4\u201332%) than men (h2\u00a0= 9%, 95% CI 0\u201320%). Shared-environmental factors were more important for depressive symptoms in men (c2\u00a0= 25%, 95% CI 10\u201336%) than women (c2\u00a0= 9%, 95% CI 0\u201335%). Non-shared environmental factors explained the overlap between depressive symptoms and EOE in women but not in men. Results differed from high-income populations, highlighting the need for behavioural genetic research in global populations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-8b71c1c5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-68630121\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-5e518491\">\n<p>Website:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-87ee0c4a\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/global-health-epidemiology-and-genomics\/article\/association-between-emotional-eating-and-depressive-symptoms-a-populationbased-twin-study-in-sri-lanka\/0FBB80A3E290F0F3CD181CB028C90C24\">The association between emotional eating and depressive symptoms: a population-based twin study in Sri Lanka | Global Health, Epidemiology and Genomics | Cambridge Core<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-0fcdaf73\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-aa1e510a\">\n<p>PDF:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-8d389701\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/0FBB80A3E290F0F3CD181CB028C90C24\/S2054420019000034a.pdf\/association_between_emotional_eating_and_depressive_symptoms_a_populationbased_twin_study_in_sri_lanka.pdf\">https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/0FBB80A3E290F0F3CD181CB028C90C24\/S2054420019000034a.pdf\/association_between_emotional_eating_and_depressive_symptoms_a_populationbased_twin_study_in_sri_lanka.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This study investigated the genetic and environmental contributions to emotional overeating (EOE) and depressive symptoms, and their covariation, in a Sri-Lankan population, using genetic model-fitting analysis.
