Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated whether eating foods rich in dietary flavonoids is linked to a lower risk of developing depression in middle-aged and older women, using data from two large long-term studies.
  • Results showed that higher intakes of certain flavonoid subclasses, specifically flavonols, flavones, and flavanones, were associated with a reduced risk of depression, especially when women consumed more citrus fruits or juices.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that consuming flavonoid-rich foods may help decrease the risk of depression in older women, with stronger evidence seen in those aged 65 and above.]
