Review
This review highlights the epidemiological and molecular links between obesity and depression, emphasizing their status as comorbid public health problems.

However, based on the high prevalence of both pathologies, a possible relationship between obesity and depression has been presumed and studied in recent years, demonstrated through observational epidemiological studies and meta-analyses, positioning them as commonly comorbid chronic diseases.
