“…Each item was scored on 4-point scale to evaluate the frequency of symptoms: “1” none or a little time; “2” a small part of the time; “3” a lot of time; “4” most of the time. The raw score was a sum of the scores from the 20 items, which was multiplied by 1.25 to yield the standard score [ 20 , 21 ]. Based on the standard score, a cut-off point of 50 was used to define depression symptoms among the participants: no depression (<50), and depression (≥50) [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Postpartum depression (PPD), as a common complication of childbearing, could have adverse consequences on mothers, children, and families. This cohort study aimed to assess the association between duration of folic acid (FA) supplementation during pregnancy and the onset of PPD in Chinese women. A total of 1592 participants were recruited, and data collected between July 2015 and March 2017 in Tianjin, China. Participants’ baseline data were collected regarding socio-demographic and lifestyle characteristics, obstetric history, and FA supplementation during pregnancy. The Chinese version of the self-rating depression scale was used to assess depressive symptoms at 6–12 weeks postpartum, and the prevalence of PPD in participants was 29.4%. Pregnant women who took FA supplements for >6 months had a lower prevalence of PPD, compared to those who took FA for ≤6 months. After using the 1:1 ratio propensity score matching, 601 FA-users ≤ 6 months and 601 FA-users > 6 months were included in the further analyses; this also yielded similar results (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that FA intake for >6 months was an independent determinant of PPD (odds ratio = 0.76; 95% confidence interval: 0.59–0.98; P < 0.05). Thus, prolonged FA supplementation during pregnancy was associated with a decreased risk of PPD in Chinese women.

“…The ZDI is composed of 20 self-reported, Likert scale items ranging in frequency from 1 “a little of the time” to 4 “most of the time” and summed to create a total raw score. Raw scores were then divided by 0.8, resulting in an index score range from 25 to 100 (Hunter and Murphy, 2011). At baseline, ZDI items showed good internal consistency (α = .80).…”

Challenging the “jolly fat” hypothesis among older adults: High body mass index predicts increases in depressive symptoms over a 5-year period

2016

Several investigators have observed lowered risk of depression among obese older adults, coining the "jolly fat" hypothesis. We examined this hypothesis using baseline and a 5-year follow-up body mass index, depressive symptoms, and covariates from 638 community-based older adults. High objectively measured body mass index and functional limitations predicted increased future depressive symptoms. However, symptoms did not predict future body mass index. Self-reported body mass index showed similar associations despite underestimating obesity prevalence. Results did not differ on the basis of gender. Results for this study, the first longitudinal reciprocal risk analysis between objectively measured body mass index and depressive symptoms among older adults, do not support the "jolly fat" hypothesis.

“…The survey was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital. The survey included demographic information (gender, age, educational background, and place of residence), exposure to COVID-19, the Zung self-report depression scale (SDS) ( Hunter and Murphy, 2011 ), and the self-report anxiety scale (SAS) ( Zung, 1971 ). According to Chinese population norms, severe depression is defined as an SDS score of 72 or higher ( Xuan, 2020 ), and severe anxiety as an SAS score of 70 or higher ( LIiZihui et al, 2018 ).…”
