Researcher have analyzed data from 11 prior studies which focused on the correlation between depression and pro-inflammatory diets. These studies encompassed over 100,000 participants of various ages between 16 and 72 years-old. Gender and ethnicity varied as well, and so did location, as the individuals spanned across the United States, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East, reports Medical Xpress. The results showed that diets rich in fast food, junk food, and other processed foods did in fact raise one’s risk of developing depression.
These researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University recorded the presence of depression as well as the beginning depressive symptoms in all participants. Research was done through self observation, medical diagnoses, and the presence of antidepressant use. The people involved in the study were given an assigned score or exactly how inflammatory his or her diet was according to dietary indexes, cites Medical Xpress.
