“…Administration of folic acid was also shown to be associated with early recovery from depression (Fava et al, 1997;Taylor et al, 2003), suggesting a therapeutic importance of this nutrient. A protective role of folate in depression has been further supported by various epidemiologic studies, in which either dietary folate intake (Tolmunen et al, 2003(Tolmunen et al, , 2004aSanchez-Villegas et al, 2006;Murakami et al, 2008) or blood folate concentrations (Bjelland et al, 2003;Morris et al, 2003;Ramos et al, 2004;Sachdev et al, 2005;Dimopoulos et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2008) or SNPs involved in folate metabolism (Gilbody et al, 2007a) was used as the exposure index. In a recent meta-analysis of 11 studies, persons with low levels of serum, low red blood cell or low intake of folate had a 1.4 times increased risk of depressive symptom, compared with those with high folate status (Gilbody et al, 2007b).…”

Background/Objectives: Folate and homocysteine have been implicated to have a role in depression. However, results of epidemiologic studies on this issue have been inconsistent. The objective of this study was to clarify the association between serum folate and homocysteine concentrations and depressive symptoms in Japanese adults. Subjects/Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data for 530 municipal employees (313 men and 217 women), aged 21-67 years, who participated in a health survey at the time of periodic checkup. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios of depressive symptoms (CES-D scale scores of X16) with adjustment for potential confounding variables. Results: In total, 113 men (36.1%) and 79 women (36.4%) had depressive symptoms. A higher serum folate was associated with a decreased prevalence of depressive symptoms in men. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of depressive symptoms for the lowest to highest quartiles of serum folate were 1.00 (reference), 0.53 (0.27-1.03), 0.33 (0.16-0.68) and 0.51 (0.25-1.03), respectively (trend P ¼ 0.03). Furthermore, the data suggested a positive association between serum homocysteine and depressive symptoms in men (trend P ¼ 0.06). In women, neither folate nor homocysteine was associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Low serum folate may be related to an increased prevalence of depressive symptoms in Japanese men.

Objective: To examine the association between soft drink consumption and mental health problems, including self-reported doctor-diagnosed anxiety, stressrelated problem and depression, suicidal ideation and psychological distress, among adults in South Australia. Design: Data were collected using a risk factor surveillance system. Each month a representative random sample of South Australians was selected from the Electronic White Pages with interviews conducted using computer-assisted telephone interviewing. Setting: South Australia. Subjects: Participants were aged 16 years and above. Results: Among 4741 participants, 12?5 % reported daily soft drink consumption of more than half a litre. High levels of soft drink consumption were positively associated with depression, stress-related problem, suicidal ideation, psychological distress and a current mental health condition, but not anxiety. Overall, 24?0 % of those having suicidal ideation reported consuming more than half a litre of soft drink per day. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, those who consumed more than half a litre of soft drink per day had approximately 60 % greater risk of having depression, stress-related problem, suicidal ideation, psychological distress or a current mental health condition, compared with those not consuming soft drinks. The soft drink to total fluid consumption ratio had similar associations with mental health problems. Conclusions: There is a positive association between consumption of soft drinks and mental health problems among adults in South Australia.

“…The GDS score showed a negative association with the intake of MUFAs and their main source, olive oil. GDS was positively associated with the ingestion of seed oils (rich in ω3 fatty acids), and as observed in the first SUN publication (SÁNCHEZ-VILLEGAS et al, 2006), there was no significant association with fish and seafood (rich in ω3 fatty acids). In contrast, in the MEDIS study (Mediterranean Islands) there was inverse correlation between GDS score and fish consumption (BOUNTZIOUKA et al, 2009).…”

“…In the same cohort (10,094 subjects) analyzed longitudinally over 4.4 years, 480 new cases of depression were diagnosed. Full adherence to the Mediterranean diet pattern showed inverse association with depression (p<0.001), with inverse dose-response relation regarding fruit and nut intake, AGMI/AGS ratio, and vegetables (SÁNCHEZ-VILLEGAS et al, 2006).…”

“…Results from recent trials investigating the effects of ω-3 supplementation on cognition and mood are more promising. A cross-sectional analysis of the association between intake of vitamin B complex and ω3 fatty acids and prevalence of depression was investigated in the study known as SUN (SÁNCHEZ-VILLEGAS et al, 2006). Folate intake was inversely associated with depression among men, especially smokers, and B 12 intake was inversely associated with depression among women.…”

The main objective of this literature review was to summarize and characterize the main factors and events that may negatively influence quality of life and human longevity. The factors that act on premature aging processes are essentially the same as those of natural or healthy aging, but in a more intense and uncontrolled manner. Such factors are: 1) genetic (genome); 2) metabolic (metabolome); 3) environmental (life conditions and style, including diet). Factors 1 and 2 are more difficult to control by individuals; once depending on socioeconomic, cultural and educational conditions. Differently of environmental factors that may be totally controlled by individuals. Unfamiliarity with these factors leads to chronic and/or degenerative diseases that compromise quality of life and longevity.Keywords: Human longevity; Metabolic changes; Aging; Life quality; Diet. ResumoO principal objetivo desta revisão da literatura foi resumir e caracterizar os principais fatores e eventos que podem influenciar negativamente a qualidade de vida e a longevidade humana. Os fatores que atuam nos processos de envelhecimento prematuro são essencialmente os mesmos que aqueles relacionados ao envelhecimento saudável ou natural, mas em uma maior intensidade ou maneira descontrolada. Tais fatores são: 1) genéticos (genoma); 2) metabólicos (metaboloma); 3) ambientais (condições e estilos de vida, incluindo a alimentação). Os fatores dos itens 1 e 2 são mais difíceis de ser controlados, pois dependem das condições socioeconômicas, culturais e educacionais. Diferentemente dos fatores ambientais que podem ser controlados pelo indivíduo. A falta de familiaridade com esses fatores leva a doenças crônicas e/ou degenerativas que comprometem a qualidade de vida e a longevidade.
