“…The food items within the healthy eating score that contributed the most to this association were the consumption of legumes and seafood. Similar results were observed in previous studies conducted in different samples from Latin American countries, but not at a national level (14) . Up to our knowledge, few studies evaluated the association between diet and depression risk in older Latin American populations (14) .…”

Objective: To investigate the relationship of a healthy eating score with depression in Chilean older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Chilean older adults from the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-2017. Associations were analyzed using complex samples multivariable logistic regressions adjusted for: age, sex, socio-demographic, lifestyles (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and sleep duration), body mass index, and clinical conditions (hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and cardiovascular diseases). Participants: The number of participants were 2,031(≥60y). The Composite International Diagnostic Interview-Short Form (CIDI-SF) was applied to establish the diagnosis of major depressive episode (MDE). Six healthy eating habits were considered to produce the healthy eating score (range: 0-12): consumption of seafood, whole grain, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Participants were categorized according to their final scores as healthy (≥9), average (5 to 8), and unhealthy (≤4). Results: Participants with a healthy score had a higher educational level, physical activity, and regular sleep hours than participants with an average and unhealthiest healthy eating score. Participants classified in the healthiest healthy eating score had an inverse association with depression (OR: 0.28, 95%CI: 0.10-0.74). Food items that contributed the most to this association were legumes (15.2%) and seafood (12.7%). Conclusion: Participants classified in the healthiest healthy eating score, characterized by a high consumption of legumes and seafood, showed a lower risk for depression in a representative sample of Chilean population.

Alcohol Consumption and Smoking During Covid-19 Pandemic: Association with Sociodemographic, Behavioral, and Mental Health Characteristics

The Covid-19 pandemic is related to increased alcohol consumption and smoking. These behaviors may be related to several sociodemographic, behavioral and mental health factors. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the association between alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking with sociodemographic, behavioral and mental health characteristics. This study used data from two population-based studies conducted in two cities from Southern Brazil amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Individuals aged 18 years or older were included and selected using a multistage sampling procedure. Alcohol consumption and smoking and changes in such consumption during the Covid-19 pandemic were evaluated. Sociodemographic, behavioral, pandemic-related, and mental health variables were also included. A hierarchical model was used to conduct the adjusted analyses, and Poisson regression with robust adjustment was used for variance. A total of 2170 individuals were studied. The prevalence of alcohol consumption and smoking were 9.3% and 14.2%, respectively. The rates of increase in alcohol consumption and smoking during the Covid-pandemic were about 20% and 30%, respectively. They were higher among those with depressive symptoms, feeling of sadness and self-reported stress. Those with poor diet quality had higher prevalence of alcohol consumption (PR: 1.82) and were 1.58 times more likely to smoke. The findings may help stakeholders in health and political systems to better understand the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and develop strategies to mitigate these consequences in Brazil and elsewhere.

“…In a prospective investigation, increasing HEI-Canada scores were associated with fewer physician visits for depression in adults living in Alberta [ 37 ]. Compared to those with the best diet quality, individuals with the worst diet quality were 39% more likely to suffer from major depressive episodes [ 38 ]. We found that the total CHEI score and the fruit score of non-depressed breast cancer patients were both higher than those of depressed patients, which is consistent with previous findings that low HEI and fruit scores were associated with depression [ 39 ].…”

Impact of Gut Microbiota on the Association between Diet and Depressive Symptoms in Breast Cancer

et al. 2022

Little is known about the relationship between diet and depression through the gut microbiota among breast cancer patients. This study aimed to examine the dietary intake differences between depressed breast cancer (DBC) and non-depressed breast cancer (NBC) patients, and whether the differences could lead to gut microbiota changes that affect depressive symptoms. Participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and 24 h dietary recall. Fecal samples of 18 DBC patients and 37 NBC patients were collected for next-generation sequencing. A total of 60 out of 205 breast cancer patients reported significant depressive symptoms suggested by a CES-D score ≥ 16, which might be related to lower intakes of energy, protein, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B2, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, manganese and tryptophan, and a poor diet quality indicated by a lower total Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI) score. Additionally, NBC patients demonstrated greater gut microbiota diversity and a healthier composition, in which the relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Escherichia-Shigella were both lower than in the DBC patients (p < 0.05). Alpha diversity was a significant mediator between diet quality and depression, while calcium, phosphorus and selenium significantly regulated depression independent of the gut microbiota. Breast cancer-related depressive symptoms might be associated with a poor diet quality via gut microbiota-dependent pathways and lower micronutrient intake via microbiota-independent pathways.
