Optimal Serum Selenium Concentrations Are Associated with Lower Depressive Symptoms and Negative Mood among Young Adults

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if serum selenium concentration is associated with depressive symptoms and daily mood states in young adults.
Methods: A total of 978 young adults (aged 17–25 y) completed ...

High glycemic index diet as a risk factor for depression: analyses from
the Women’s Health Initiative

risk of depression in longitudinal studies. However, any influence that refined carbohydrates has on mood could be commensurate
with their proportion in the overall diet; studies are therefore needed that measure overall intakes of carbohydrate and sugar,
glycemic index (GI), and glycemic load.
Objective: We hypothesized that higher dietary GI and ...

Dietary flavonoid intake and risk of incident depression in midlife and older women
ABSTRACT
Background: The impact of dietary flavonoid intakes on risk of depression is unclear.
Objective: We prospectively examined associations between estimated habitual intakes of dietary flavonoids and depression risk.
Design: We followed 82,643 women without a previous history of depression at baseline from the Nurses’ Health Study [(NHS) aged
53–80 y] and the Nurses’ Health Study II [(NHSII) aged 36–55 y]. Intakes of total flavonoids and subclasses (flavonols, flavones,
flavanones, ...

Associations between depression subtypes, depression severity and diet quality: crosssectional findings from the BiDirect Study

The objective of this study was to investigate differences in diet quality between patients with a clinical diagnosis of depression and population-based controls. Additionally, we aimed to examine effects of specific depression characteristics on diet by analyzing if diet quality varies.
