Conklin AI, et al. - Researchers systematically searched six bibliometric databases (Web of Science, Embase Ovid, PsycINFO, CINHAL, PubMed, ProQuest Dissertations) supplemented by hand searches to evaluate whether experiencing stressful life events results in greater adiposity in young women and young men compared with those who did not experience stressful life events, and whether the relationship was modified by sleep problems. Existing evidence was suggestive of the differential impact of specific life events on weight in young women and men. The research evaluated specific life events and displayed a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) at follow-up among young men who experienced a residence change. However, significantly higher BMI among young women who experienced setting up a family and who reported internal locus of control was found.
