Dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, polyunsaturated fats, and fish and positive psychological well‐being in older adults: A cross‐sectional analysis of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing ( <scp>ELSA</scp> )
Diet may be associated with positive psychological well-being in middle-aged and older adults. Increasing dietary intake of F&V, PUFAs, and fish could support well-being and may be encouraged through public or private initiatives aimed at making healthy diets accessible and affordable. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the influence of diet on well-being over time.
