In community dwelling adults, does diet enrichment with fruit, vegetables, fish, and whole grains reduce the risk of new onset depression?
EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWERA "healthy diet" is associated with reduction in odds for clinical depression (odds ratio: 0.84) while no statistically significant association is found between the typical "Western diet" and depression (SOR: A, systematic review and meta-analysis). In addition, adherence to healthy dietary recommendations reduces the risk of depressive symptoms while a "Western diet" increases the risk of depressive symptoms.
