Depression and dietary intake in a cohort of HIV-positive clients in Sydney

Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to compare dietary intake in people living with HIV (PLHIV) experiencing symptoms of depression with those not reporting depression. The Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D10) was used to classify the risk of depression. Dietary nutrient intake was determined using the diet history and food frequency questionnaire. Depressed (n = 21) compared with non-depressed (n = 37) subjects had significantly lower mean intake of fibre (16.1 versus 25.4 g/day), vitamin A (801.5 versus 1524.8 mg/day), magnesium (299.8 versus 380.0 mg/day) and folate (264.8 versus 402.9 μg/day). The proportion of subjects achieving the recommended intake of these nutrients, with the exception of folate was also found to be lower in the depressed group compared with non-depressed group. The study found that depressive symptomatology in PLHIV was associated with poorer dietary nutrient intake. A multidisciplinary model of care that includes a nutrition assessment is recommended for the management of PLHIV with depression to reduce the risk of associated nutritional problems.

Associations of Dietary Vitamin C and E Intake With Depression. A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

“…These studies were published between 2009 and 2022. 12 of the included studies were performed in Asian countries [Korea ( 21 , 26 , 28 , 34 , 35 , 41 ), Iran ( 25 , 37 , 39 ) and Japan ( 19 , 20 , 31 )], and the other ones were conducted in United States ( 22 , 24 , 33 , 40 , 43 ), Brazil ( 32 , 38 , 42 ), Australia ( 23 , 36 ), Spain ( 29 , 30 ), and Turkey ( 27 ). Male, female and both male and female participants were recruited in 2 ( 25 , 36 ), 8 ( 21 , 26 , 32 , 34 , 37 – 39 , 43 ), and 15 ( 19 , 20 , 22 – 24 , 27 – 31 , 33 , 35 , 40 – 42 ) studies, respectively.…”

“…The sample size ranged from 41 to 25895 for a total number of 91966. The dietary vitamin C and E intake was assessed by food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in 14 studies ( 19 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 42 , 43 ), and recall method in 12 studies ( 21 , 24 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 32 – 35 , 38 , 40 , 41 ). The diagnostic criteria of depression or depressive symptom were Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) ( 27 , 30 ), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) ( 24 , 33 , 35 , 40 ), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) ( 19 – 21 , 23 , 29 , 34 , 38 , 43 ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) ( 25 – 27 , 32 , 39 ), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) ( 31 , 36 ), Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS) ( 37 ), National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) ( 22 ), and Clinical Interview Schedule Revised (CIS-R) ( 42 ), respectively.…”

Male, female and both male and female participants were recruited in 1 ( 18 ), 8 ( 14 , 20 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 33 , 36 ), and 16 ( 13 , 15 – 17 , 19 , 21 – 25 , 27 , 29 , 32 , 34 , 35 , 37 ) studies, respectively.…”

“…The sample size ranged from 41 to 17,401 for a total number of 100,955. The exposure was assessed by food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in 16 studies ( 13 – 16 , 18 , 20 , 21 , 23 – 25 , 28 , 29 , 31 , 33 , 36 , 37 ), and recall method in 9 studies ( 17 , 19 , 22 , 26 , 27 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 35 ).
