Abstract in brief

  • The study found that postmenopausal women consuming diets with higher glycemic index (GI) and added sugars had increased chances of developing depression over time.
  • Consuming more low-GI foods like fruits and vegetables was linked to a lower risk of depression, while eating more refined grains was associated with higher depression risk.
  • The results suggest that diets high in refined carbohydrates and sugars might contribute to depression risk, indicating the need for randomized trials to confirm if dietary changes can reduce this risk.]
