Abstract in brief
- This study investigated the link between dietary niacin (a type of antioxidant found in foods like meat and grains) and depression among adults in the US, using data from 2007 to 2016.
- The results showed a U-shaped relationship, meaning that both very low and very high niacin intakes were associated with higher depression risk, while moderate intake (around 3.6 mg/day) was linked to the lowest depression odds.
- Overall, moderate niacin intake appears to have a protective effect against depression, and this association was consistent across different groups regardless of sex, age, or BMI.
