The rapid weight loss induced by bariatric surgery is known to improve depressive symptoms dramatically, but preoperative depression diagnosis may also increase the risk for poor weight loss. Therefore, we investigated longitudinal associations between depression and inflammatory markers and their effect on weight loss and clinical outcomes in bariatric patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723002283_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This longitudinal observational study of 85 patients with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery included 41 cases with depression and 44 controls. Before and 6 months after surgery, we assessed depression by clinical interview and measured serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723002283_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Before surgery, depression diagnosis was associated with significantly higher serum hsCRP, IL-6, and IL-6\/10 ratio levels after controlling for confounders. Six months after surgery, patients with pre-existing depression still had significantly higher inflammation despite demonstrating similar weight loss to controls. Hierarchical regression showed higher baseline hsCRP levels predicted poorer weight loss (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.28, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.01) but had no effect on depression severity at follow-up (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = \u22120.02, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.9). Instead, more severe baseline depressive symptoms and childhood emotional abuse predicted greater depression severity after surgery (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = 0.81, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001; and <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> = 0.31, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001, respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723002283_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Depression was significantly associated with higher inflammation beyond the effect of obesity and other confounders.
