The role of vitamin D in the prevention of late-life depression

Abstract: BACKGROUND In this article, we review current evidence regarding potential benefits of vitamin D for improving mood and reducing depression risk in older adults. We summarize gaps in knowledge and describe future efforts that may clarify the role of vitamin D in late-life depression prevention. METHODS MEDLINE and PsychINFO databases were searched for all articles on vitamin D and mood that had been published up to and including May 2015. Observational studies and randomized trials with 50 or more participan… Show more

When accounting for a priori defined intervention adherence (ie, attending ≥8 of 21 sessions), food-related behavioral activation therapy was related to lower MDD onset, with an ef-fect size comparable with that reported in (meta-analytic) studies of psychological interventions for depression.…”
