Lifetime history of depression and eating behaviours: a co-twin control study of the TwinsUK registry
Our findings suggest the association between depression and eating can be partly explained by pre-existing genetic and environmental vulnerabilities. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this relationship could guide the development of effective management strategies, including personalized nutrition plans, integrated mental and dietary care, and regular monitoring to mitigate the risk of maladaptive eating behaviours and eating disorders.
