Résumé
Anhedonia and abnormalities in reward behavior are core features of major depressive disorder (MDD). Convergent evidence indicates that overweight/obesity (OW), a highly prevalent condition in MDD, is independently associated with reward disturbances. We therefore aimed to investigate the moderating effect of OW on the willingness to expend efforts for reward in individuals with MDD and healthy controls (HC). Forty-one adults (HC n = 20, MDD n = 21) completed the Effort Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT), clinical and cognitive measures. Anthropometric parameters were assessed in all participants, and an additional evaluation of laboratorial parameters were conducted solely on those with MDD. Individuals with MDD were all on vortioxetine monotherapy (10-20 mg/day). Interactions between reward magnitude, group and OW were observed (χ OW significantly moderated the association between MDD and willingness to make efforts for rewards. These findings offer novel evidence on the potential role of metabolic factors on the basis of anhedonia, and for the heuristic models proposing a pathophysiological connection between mood and metabolic disorders.

BACKGROUND
Anhedonia and abnormalities in reward behavior are core features of major depressive disorder (MDD). Convergent evidence indicates that overweight/obesity (OW), a highly prevalent condition in MDD, is independently associated with reward disturbances. We therefore aimed to investigate the moderating effect of OW on the willingness to expend efforts for reward in individuals with MDD and healthy controls (HC).
METHODS
Forty-one adults (HC n = 20, MDD n = 21) completed the Effort Expenditure for Rewards Task (EEfRT), clinical and cognitive measures. Anthropometric parameters were assessed in all participants, and an additional evaluation of laboratorial parameters were conducted solely on those with MDD. Individuals with MDD were all on vortioxetine monotherapy (10-20 mg/day).
RESULTS
Interactions between reward magnitude, group and OW were observed (χ
CONCLUSIONS
OW significantly moderated the association between MDD and willingness to make efforts for rewards. These findings offer novel evidence on the potential role of metabolic factors on the basis of anhedonia, and for the heuristic models proposing a pathophysiological connection between mood and metabolic disorders.
