Sažetak
Depression, an increasing public health problem, is often related to unhealthy dietary habits. The aim of this study was to examine the association between processed food dietary pattern and depression in adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 132 adult participants, aged 18 – 65. The intake of processed food was assessed using a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, while depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies – Depression scale. Depression was determined in 14 participants (10.6%) with no significant differences regarding age (p=0.378), sex (p=0.602), body mass index (p=0.114), educational level (p=0.311), number of people in the household (p=0.753), and physical activity (p=0.689) between participants with and without depression. On the other hand, there were significantly more current smokers among the participants with depression (p=0.004). Pastries (p=0.003), French fries (p=0.033), half-fat cheese (p=0.037), and cream cheese (p=0.025) were consumed more frequently among the participants without depression. There were no significant differences between the studied groups in consumption frequencies of other processed food items. Although the results of the present study did not show significantly increased consumption of processed food among depressed participants, for better understanding of potential relationship between these two factors, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
