Background: During the last decades, fathers have increasingly participated in prenatal care, birth preparation classes, and childbirth. However, comparably little is known about the prenatal emotional well-being of fathers, particularly content and extent of broader paternal concerns that may arise during pregnancy beyond those focusing on childbirth. Thus, the aims of this study were to investigate the manifestation of paternal pregnancy-related worries in a population-based sample and to identify relevant associated factors.Materials and Methods: As part of a longitudinal pregnancy cohort at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, N = 129 expectant fathers were assessed once during pregnancy. Pregnancy-related worries centering around medical procedures, childbirth, health of the baby, as well as socioeconomic aspects were assessed with the Cambridge Worry Scale (CWS). Additionally, paternal socioeconomic background and maternal obstetrical history, symptoms of generalized anxiety and depression, and level of hostility were investigated, as well as perceived social support. The cross-sectional data were analyzed based on multiple regression analyses.Results: The level of reported worries was overall low. Some fathers reported major worries for individual aspects like the health of a significant other (10.9%) and the baby (10.1%), as well as the current financial (6.2%) and employment situation (8.5%). Pregnancy-related worries were negatively associated with household income and positively associated with anxious and depressive symptoms and low perceived social support. Associations varied for specific pregnancy-related worries.Limitations: Due to the cross-sectional data examined in this study, a causal interpretation of the results is not possible. The sample was rather homogeneous regarding its socioeconomic background. More research needs to be done in larger, more heterogeneous samples.Conclusion: Though overall worries were rather low in this sample, specific major worries could be identified. Hence, addressing those fathers reporting major worries regarding specific aspects already in prenatal care might support their psychosocial adjustment. Fathers with little income, those with elevated levels of general anxious and depressive symptoms, and those with less social support reported higher pregnancy-related worries. Our results indicate the relevance of concerns beyond health- and birth-related aspects that could be relevant for fathers. Measurements developed specifically for expectant fathers are needed to properly capture their perspective already during pregnancy.

Abstract The burden of depression is increasing worldwide, specifically in older adults. Unhealthy dietary patterns may partly explain this phenomenon. In the Spanish PREDIMED-Plus study we explored (1) the cross-sectional association between the adherence to the Prime Diet Quality Score- (PDQS), an a priori-defined high-quality food pattern and the prevalence of depressive symptoms at baseline (cross-sectional analysis), and (2) the prospective association of baseline PDQS with changes in depressive symptomatology after 2 years of follow-up. After exclusions, we assessed 6612 participants in the cross-sectional analysis and 5523 participants in the prospective analysis. An energy-adjusted high-quality dietary score (PDQS) was assessed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The cross-sectional association between PDQS and the prevalence of depression, presence of depressive symptoms and prospectively assessed changes in depressive symptoms was evaluated through multivariable regression models (logistic and linear models and mixed linear-effects models). PDQS was inversely associated with depressive status in the cross-sectional analysis. Participants in the highest quintile of PDQS (Q5) showed a significantly reduced odds of depression prevalence as compared to participants in the lowest quartile of PDQS (Q1) [OR (95%) CI= 0.82 (0.68, 0.98))]. The baseline prevalence of depression decreased across PDQS quintiles (p for trend=0.015). A statistically significant association between PDQS and changes in depressive symptoms after 2-y follow-up was found (β (95%) CI = −0.67 z-score (−1.17, −0.18). A higher PDQS was cross-sectionally related to a lower depressive status. Nevertheless, the null finding in our prospective analysis, raises the possibility of reverse causality. Further prospective investigation is required to ascertain the association between PDQS and changes in depressive symptoms along time.

Although several cross-sectional studies have described an inverse association between green tea consumption and depressive symptoms, only one study has prospectively investigated this association. We investigated the cross-sectional and prospective associations between green tea consumption and depressive symptoms in a working population in Japan. Participants were 1987 workers who participated in the baseline survey for a cross-sectional association, and 916 participants who did not have depressive symptoms at baseline who responded to both the baseline and follow-up surveys for a prospective association. Green tea consumption was evaluated with a validated self-administered diet history questionnaire. Depression symptoms were evaluated with the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. Multiple logistic regression was conducted to estimate the odds ratio of depressive symptoms based on green tea consumption. In the cross-sectional analysis, green tea consumption was not associated with the prevalence of depression symptoms. Moreover, consumption at baseline was not associated with depression symptoms after 3 years; the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio of depressive symptoms for ≥2 cups/day of green tea was 1.12 (95% confidence interval 0.65–1.91) compared with <4 cups/week after adjustment for covariates including dietary factors (trend p = 0.67). Our results suggest that there is no association of consumption of green tea with symptoms of depression in Japanese.

Background: Previous findings on the association of depressive symptoms and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been inconsistent. This study aimed to (1) examine the cross-sectional association between depressive symptoms (DS) and subclinical atherosclerosis in older age; and (2) determine whether presence of DS at older age relates to the long-term low-order association of favorable CVD risk factor profile (low-risk) at younger age with subclinical atherosclerosis in older age. Methods: CHAS participants (n=1,395) were examined in 1967-1973 (baseline) and 2007-2009 (follow-up). Baseline low-risk was defined as: (1) blood pressure ≤120/≤80 mmHg and no reported use of antihypertensive medication, (2) serum cholesterol <200 mg/dL and no reported use of lipid-lowering medication, (3) BMI < 25.0 kg/m 2 , (4) no diabetes, and (5) no smoking; not low-risk included all others. DS (≥16 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]) and presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) >0 (determined by computed tomography) were assessed at follow-up. Results: Among 1,130 CHAS participants with complete data (mean follow-up age=71.1), 6.9% met criteria for DS. Individuals with DS reported lower sleep quality ( p <0.0001) and were more likely to be African American (p<0.0001). At older age, DS were not associated with CAC>0 after multivariate adjustment ( p =0.38). Prevalence of DS did not vary significantly between baseline low-risk and not low-risk participants (5.8% and 7.2%, p =0.45). Regardless of late-life depressive symptom status, presence of CAC (indicated by CAC scores > 0) was less likely among low-risk persons ( p =0.21) (Table 1). Results were consistent across different CAC score cut-points (data not shown). Conclusion: Depressive symptoms in older age were not associated with subclinical atherosclerosis or CVD risk status. Low CVD risk status in early-middle age was associated with lower CAC prevalence in older age among persons both with and without depressive symptoms.

Objective. To estimate the relationship between obesity (defined by both BMI and SAD) and various levels of depressive symptoms in women in the United States. Methods. This is a cross-sectional design. All data were collected from NHANES 2011-2012 and 2013-2014. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was the primary variable used to index depressive symptoms. SAD was assessed using an abdominal caliper. We stratified participates into three groups according to SAD (trisection): T1: low (11.8-18.4 cm), T2: middle (18.5-22.8 cm), and T3: high (22.9-40.1 cm). Other data were collected following the NHANES protocols. We aimed to investigate the effects of obesity on the depression in the NHANES populations. Results. A total of 4477 women were enrolled in the final study population. Participants with a high SAD had the highest risk of clinical depression symptoms ( OR = 1.2 , 95% CI: 1.1-1.4), which was, in particular, the case for moderate-severe depression ( OR = 1.4 , 95% CI: 1.1-1.7) and severe depression ( OR = 1.4 , 95% CI: 1.0-1.9). We also found a significant relationship between SAD and BMI ( r = 0.836 ). We did, however, not find a significant relationship between BMI and severe depression. Conclusions. SAD had a better correlation with clinical depression symptoms than BMI, especially regarding severe depression symptoms.
