2. What method is being used?

Cross sectional

3. How do the authors use the method? What do they use it for? What specifically does the method enable them to do? Why did they choose this method rather than another? What was it about this research agenda/topic that led them to choose this particular method? Answer a handful of these. They all get at similar thing. But I want blocks of texts.
1. Authors use this method because they select a group of people found in the Minnesota twin study, allowing them the us just obese children.
2. They chose this method because they are specifically using obese children.
3. The research was created to see if obese children are at greater risk for anxiety or depression.
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach that particular conclusion?

The results showed a correlation between obesity with young adults and adolescents. It showed that there was a correlation with early adolescent obesity and later adolescent depression. They were able to do this question because they based it off of just obese children to see if obesity was a cause of MDD.

5. What was one interesting thing you discovered by leafing through this article?

It was interesting finding out that Women were at higher risk of for depression cause obesity or obesity causing depression, while there was no significant findings when it came to males.

1. They use the method by testing the correlation of obesity with depression and anxiety, while comparing the results to a group of children who aren't obese.
2. They use it to compare if obese children have a higher prevalence rate of becoming depressed or having anxiety compared to healthy individuals.
3. The method gives them two test groups that they can compare, allowing them to see if the prevalence rate of the disorder is higher in one group than the other.   
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
1. This showed that the obese children had a correlation with depressed symptoms, while the healthy children didn’t have as significant of a relationship with obesity.
5. What was one interesting thing you discovered by leafing through this article?
1. I found it interesting that  Pervanidou et al reported that the imbalance in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis was involved in anxiety disorders, depression, and obesity. This meaning that all could be a genetic cause

1. They use it by having two follow up interviews after the original baseline interview. The interview was separated by 16 months from interview 1 and 2, while interview 2 and 3 were separated by 12 months.
2. It enables them to see the progression of the adolescents obesity and depression.
3. They did this study so they could see if depression would lead to obesity by following families that have depression, since it is known to be genetic.  
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
1. The conclusion was that there is no correlation of obesity leading to depression with offsprings of parents who do have depression but they have been known to have a higher BMI
5. What was one interesting thing you discovered by leafing through this article?
1. I found it interesting that they had a high BMI than the average population because some articles I have read said that this can lead to depression when they become young adults.

1. They use this method to test if there is a genetic link by comparing monozygotic twins as they age.
2. The twin study allows them to see if genetics has a factor because monozygotic twins have the exact same DNA so if they both end up getting depression and obesity then there is most likely a link.
3. They chose this method because there is no truly other way to compare genetics with a different literature study.  
4. What is the conclusion of the study? And how did the method enable them to reach that particular conclusion?
1. The conclusion of the study shows there is a genetic link between depression and obesity. It also shows there there is an increased chance of getting these disorders if your parents have them as well. They reached these conclusions by compare monozygotic twin and dizygotic twins.
5. What was one interesting thing you discovered by leafing through this article?
1. I found it interesting that the heritability of major depression disorder is 38% but is higher in females than in males.
