Body mass index (BMI) had a statistically significant direct effect on stress and anxiety. Anxiety had a statistically significant direct effect on stress. Stress had a statistically significant direct effect on depression. The effects of BMI on depression were significantly mediated by anxiety and stress. The effects of anxiety on depression were significantly mediated by stress. Conclusions: The fact that the effects of BMI on depression were significantly mediated by social physique anxiety and stress can provide a foundational necessity for healthcare providers to attend to the psychosocial aspects of health in women seen at obesity clinics.
