Regular consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods is associated with fewer depressive symptoms in older adults: a cross-sectional analysis of EpiFloripa Aging cohort study, Brazil
<b>Conclusion:</b> Our results suggest that older adults who regularly consume healthy food are less likely to experience depressive symptoms. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between diet and depression.
