Dietary Fibre Intake

Abstract This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations between dietary fibre (DF) intake and depressive symptoms in a general adult population in Tianjin, China. A total of 24 306 participants (mean age 41 years; range 18–91 years) were enrolled. DF intake was assessed using a validated self-administered FFQ. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Self-Rating Depression Scale. Associations between DF intake and depressive symptoms were estimated using logistic regression analysis. Socio-demographic, behavioural, health status and dietary factors were adjusted. In men, compared with participants in the lowest quartiles for total, soluble, vegetable and soya DF, OR for depressive symptoms in the highest were 0·83 (95 % CI 0·69, 0·99), 0·74 (95 % CI 0·63, 0·87), 0·79 (95 % CI 0·65, 0·96) and 0·69 (95 % CI 0·60, 0·81), respectively. In women, compared with participants in the lowest quartiles for vegetable and soya DF, the OR for depressive symptoms in the highest were 0·77 (95 % CI 0·64, 0·93) and 0·82 (95 % CI 0·70, 0·95), respectively. No association was found between total or soluble DF intake and depressive symptoms in women. No association was found between insoluble, cereal, fruit or tuber DF intake and depressive symptoms in men and women. Linear associations between DF intake and depressive symptoms were only detected for soya DF (men, β = –0·148, P < 0·0001; women, β = –0·069, P = 0·04). Results suggest that intake of soluble, vegetable and soya DF was inversely associated with depressive symptoms. These results should be confirmed through prospective and interventional studies.

Abstract Approximately 30-40% of family caregivers of relatives living with dementia report depression, compared to 9.5% of the general adult population. Studies suggest that depressive symptoms persist for many years following the care recipient’s death, despite resolution of caregiving responsibilities. However, long-term patterns of post-loss depressive symptoms remain poorly understood. The aim of this integrative review was to examine longitudinal trajectories and correlates of depressive symptoms in dementia caregivers following the care recipient’s death. A literature search was conducted using CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases. Studies met the eligibility criteria if they were peer-reviewed, primary sources and reported research exploring correlates and/or longitudinal patterns of post-loss depressive symptoms in dementia caregivers. Data quality was evaluated using the widely-used quality appraisal tool developed by Hawker and colleagues (2002). Data were extracted, displayed in matrix format, and synthesized into themes. Fourteen studies met the eligibility criteria and were rated as high quality. Overall, depressive symptom severity trended down during the first year post-loss but did not reduce to levels reported by non-caregiving controls. Symptom trajectories varied among unique caregiver subgroups and included persistent-distressing symptoms, persistent-mild symptoms, and asymptomatic. Greater severity of post-loss depressive symptoms was associated with female gender, lower income, less social support, pre-loss depression, neurotic and optimistic personality traits, and avoidant coping style. The findings indicate that many caregivers could benefit from mental health screening and psychosocial support during the first year post-loss and underscore the need for longitudinal studies that explore depressive symptom trajectories beyond the first 1-2 years post-loss.
