Depression Linked to Consuming an Inflammatory Diet

 
Study Summary

Dietary inflammation is associated with increased risk of frailty. Those with depressive symptoms may be at higher risk of frailty onset since they typically have higher levels of inflammation. The study objective was to determine the association between a pro-inflammatory diet and frailty onset in those with and without clinically relevant depressive symptoms.
