“…The diet consumed by Japanese individuals is typically characterized by a high intake of rice, soya products, fish, seaweed, and green tea and a low intake of animal fat and soft drinks [ 65 ]. In cross-sectional studies on the general population, a healthy Japanese dietary pattern, characterized by a higher intake of vegetables, fruit, mushrooms, soya products, vitamin B9, and vitamin C, was associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms [ 66 , 67 ]. The present results showed a higher carbohydrate intake in males and females with depression than in non-depressed participants; therefore, we cannot completely eliminate the risk associated with high carbohydrate foods, which may lead to obesity, with low vitamin levels.…”

Only a few studies have focused on the relationship between vitamin intake and depressive symptoms in Japanese individuals. This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between vitamin intake and depressive symptoms in 1634 elderly Japanese individuals (65 years and older). The consumption of fifteen vitamins including retinol, a retinol equivalent, beta-carotene equivalent, vitamin D, alpha-tocopherol, vitamin K, vitamin group B, vitamin C, and cryptoxanthine was analyzed using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ). The short version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was used to assess depressive symptoms. The prevalence of participants with depressive symptoms was 26.7%. The consumption of all vitamins, except for retinol and vitamin D, was lower among depressed than non-depressed participants. The consumption of vitamins was significantly less in female and overweight participants with depressive symptoms than in elderly participants without depressive symptoms. After adjustments for potential confounders, none of the fifteen vitamins were correlated with depressive symptoms in male or underweight participants. Associations between vitamin deficiencies and depressive symptoms were observed in female and overweight elderly participants. Our findings demonstrated a relationship between vitamin intake and depressive symptoms.

“…Actually, previous Japanese studies have shown inverse associations of intakes of fish ( 8 ) , seaweed ( 26 ) , soya products ( 27 ) and green tea ( 28 , 29 ) with the prevalence of depressive symptoms. To our knowledge, however, only a few studies have focused on the association between dietary patterns and depressive symptoms in Japanese ( 30 – 32 ) . Furthermore, the findings from these studies are not readily applicable to, for example, the development of dietary recommendations or public health messages because of the use of data-driven approach for dietary patterns.…”

Food-based diet quality score in relation to depressive symptoms in young and middle-aged Japanese women

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Only a few studies have focused on the association between overall diet, rather than intakes of individual nutrients or foods, and depressive symptoms in Japanese. This cross-sectional study examined associations between a diet quality score and depressive symptoms in 3963 young (age 18 years) and 3833 middle-aged (mean age 47·9 (sd 4·2) years) Japanese women. Dietary information was collected using a diet history questionnaire. A previously developed diet quality score was computed mainly based on the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 22·0 % for young women and 16·8 % for middle-aged women, assessed as a Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) score ≥23 and ≥19, respectively. As expected, the diet quality score was associated positively with intakes of 'grain dishes', 'vegetable dishes', 'fish and meat dishes', 'milk' and 'fruits' and inversely with intakes of energy from 'snacks, confection and beverages' and Na from seasonings. After adjustment for potential confounders, OR for depressive symptoms in the highest v. lowest quintiles of the diet quality score was 0·65 (95 % CI 0·50, 0·84) in young women (P for trend=0·0005). In middle-aged women, the corresponding value was 0·59 (95 % CI 0·45, 0·78) (P for trend<0·0001). Analyses where the diet quality and CES-D scores were treated as continuous variables also showed inverse associations. In conclusion, this cross-sectional study showed that a higher diet quality score was associated with a lower prevalence of depressive symptoms in young and middle-aged Japanese women. Prospective studies are needed to confirm a public health relevance of this finding.

“…Generally, the consumption of fruit and vegetables is related to a healthy dietary pattern. In this study, the Bakery Products dietary pattern excluded these food types, and its findings are corroborated by a series of Brazilian and international studies that have investigated the association between diet quality and depression, either by grouping nutrients or evaluating dietary patterns under the generic headings of healthy and unhealthy [6,9,15,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]39].…”

“…The literature has also addressed overall diet in the form of dietary patterns and its association with depression [6,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Broadly, these studies' findings have suggested that a healthy dietary pattern is positively associated with a decrease in depression risk.…”

Background: Relations between diet and mental health continue to be a subject for controversy and an increasing numbers of studies. Recent literature is represented by papers that examine overall diet by way of dietary patterns and its association with depression, replacing previous studies about nutrients. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the relation between dietary patterns and depressive episode in the baseline (2008–2010) population of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). We analyzed 14,798 participants of ELSA-Brasil. Methods: We constructed dietary patterns based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire using multiple correspondence and cluster analysis; to evaluate depressive episodes, we used the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R). As an independent variable, we used the patterns: Traditional, Low-Sugar/Low-Fat, Fruit-Vegetables, and Bakery Products. We used multiple logistic regression models to evaluate relations between the dietary patterns and depressive episodes. Results: The Traditional pattern showed the highest percentages of consumption. After adjusting, the Bakery Products (OR = 1.33; 95%CI 1.05–1.70) was associated positively and significantly with depressive episodes only for women. Conclusions: International studies corroborated this finding, suggesting that the Bakery Products pattern could be a marker of a specific population group in which depressive episodes are frequent.
