Joint Effect of Inflammatory Dietary Patterns and Physical Activity on the Risk of Depressive Symptoms: A Nation-Wide Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Depression is a major global public health concern. Diet and physical activity are major modifiable lifestyle factors associated with depression; however, their joint effects have not been fully addressed. This cross-sectional study aimed to quantitatively examine the interaction between physical activity and inflammatory nutrients in depression and utilized Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models to compare the effects of inflammatory nutrients on depression in individuals with and without physical activity.

Materials and methods

The inflammatory diet was assessed using the dietary inflammatory index (DII), while physical activity levels were measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, with sufficient physical activity defined as achieving 60
