Neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) mediates the relationship between abdominal fat index and depression in a cross-sectional study

This study elucidates the associations between SATI, VATI and depression, proposing that these relationships may be partially mediated by NHR. These findings offer a novel perspective on the interplay between fat distribution and mental health, and suggest potential biological markers for future preventive and interventional strategies aimed at addressing depression.
