Metabolic Syndrome in Affective Disorders: Associations with Dark Triad Personality Traits.

ABSTRACT: Previous research has focused on the relationship between affective disorders (AD) and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Aside from biological and lifestyle factors, personality traits were identified as influencing aspects. In particular, the Dark Triad personality traits (DT; Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) were connected to both AD and worse somatic health, thus possibly resulting in MetS. This observational study aimed to investigate the associations between DT and anthropometric parameters and differences in the DT traits concerning the presence of MetS in individuals with AD. A total of 112 individuals (females = 59, males = 51, diverse = 2, M_age = 47.5, SD_age = 11.5) with AD filled out the Short Dark Triad questionnaire. Body Mass Index (BMI)
