“…In this large cohort, the Prudent (high in vegetables) or Western (high in meats) food patterns also identified by using principal component analysis did not show any significant association with the incidence of depression (44) . However, another posterior assessment in the Nurses' Health Study using reduced rank regression methods found that a pro-inflammatory food pattern was significantly associated with a higher risk of depression (45) supporting the hypothesis of the biological plausibility for the link between cardioprotective diets and reduced risk of depression mentioned earlier.…”

An emerging field of research in nutritional epidemiology is the assessment of several links between nutritional quality and mental health. Specifically, some studies have pointed out that several food patterns could be associated with a reduced risk of depression among adults. This association seems to be consistent across countries, cultures and populations according to several systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies. Some previously described food patterns, specifically the Mediterranean Food Pattern, the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, the Prudent diet or the Provegetarian Food Pattern may be effective to reduce the future risk of depression. Among them, only the Mediterranean Food Pattern has been tested for primary prevention in a large randomised trial, but the inverse association found was not statistically significant. The scientific report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee concluded that current evidence is still limited. Notwithstanding, this field is promising and, according to large and well-conducted observational studies, food patterns potentially associated with reduced risk of depression are those emphasising seafood, vegetables, fruits and nuts. There is a need to assess whether differences in the intake of some micro or macronutrients between these dietary patterns can make a difference in their association with a lower risk of depression. Moreover, the shape of the dose–response curve and the potential existence of a nonlinear threshold effect have not yet been established.

“…As detailed in the previous section, B-vitamins are the source of coenzymes that participate in the one-carbon metabolism. Disruptions in this pathway can increase Hcys oxidized derivates that have toxic effects in the brain and the vascular endothelium, believed to be part of the disease aetiology (Baune et al, 2012;Bhat, 2009;Bottiglieri, 2013;Folstein, et al, 2007;Lucas, et al, 2014;Selhub, 2002).…”

Depression is associated with decreased quality of life and high mortality risk at all ages and, despite having lower prevalence in community-dwelling seniors compared to other stages of the life span or institutionalized elderly, it negatively affects seniors' health outcomes. Most evidence linking late-life depression, defined as first onset after 65 years of age, with dietary factors comes from cross-sectional studies, which cannot provide information on whether declines in diet were a consequence of depression-the reverse causality hypothesis. The Quebec Longitudinal Study on Nutrition and Aging (NuAge) provides an ideal setting to explore such a relationship among a healthy, community-dwelling elderly population. Diet is hypothesized to be a factor associated with depression. Some longitudinal evidence from studies with middle-aged adults suggests that dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean or patterns deemed "healthy" are protective against depression, while "western" and "unhealthy" patterns are risk factors for the disease. B-vitamins are important cofactors in neurotransmitter synthesis and in the enzymes of the one-carbon metabolism, which has been hypothesized to have an aetiological role in depression through its neurotoxic derivates, such as homocysteine. Nonetheless, it is still largely unknown how depression affects nutrient intake in the elderly population, raising the question of the directionality of the association. Therefore, ii the three objectives of this thesis were to explore the longitudinal associations of i) dietary patterns and macronutrient intake and of ii) B6, B12 and folate intakes with the incidence of depression in late life; and iii) to investigate whether depression significantly affects short-term nutrient intakes (reverse causality effect) in comparison to intakes among non-depressed seniors.Data for this study have been obtained from the NuAge cohort, a 4-y longitudinal study of 1,793 community-dwelling men and women aged 68 to 82 years at baseline. The main outcome is incidence of depression as defined by scores in the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale ≥11 and or antidepressant medication use over the three years of follow-up. Participants were free of depression at the study's baseline through the exclusion of those with GDS scores ≥11 or antidepressant use at the time of the recruitment. Individuals with invalid or missing dietary information were also excluded. Dietary patterns were created through principal component analysis on amount (grams) of food items consumed in each of the 32 predefined food categories. Sex-specific tertiles of intake were created from the mean of three non-consecutive 24h-recalls. Multiple logistic regression models were adjusted for several demographic, health, and social confounders. For the study of the reverse causality hypothesis, we conducted a case-control nested within the NuAge cohort. Participants free of iii depression at baseline who developed depression at some point of follow-up were matched by age group and sex with...

“…In nutrition epidemiology, the difficulties when searching for the impact of single nutrients have stimulated researcher's awareness to investigate the health effect of food item combinations that is food or dietary patterns (Barbaresko et al 2013;Lucas et al 2014;Martinez-Gonzalez & Bes-Rastrollo 2014). Dietary pattern is among the important factors in the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout the entire course of life (Marchini et al 2005).…”
