Rationale: Depression and anxiety affect millions of people each year, and their relationship with dietary patterns remains largely unexplored.
Methods: This analysis is a cross-sectional assessment of dietary patterns and scores for Common Mental Disorders —depression and anxiety—in adults from the Brazilian cohort study ELSA-Brasil. Data from 15,105 civil servants of both sexes, aged 35 to 74 years, collected between 2008 and 2010, were analyzed. The Clinical Interview Questionnaire – Revised was used to assess Common Mental Disorders; dietary intake data were collected using a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire. Dietary patterns were obtained through exploratory factor analysis. Poisson regression models were used to assess the possible association between the variables, using Stata 17.0. The study followed the ethical standards of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Results: Three dietary patterns were derived: the convenience pattern, positively loaded for breads, pasta, sweets, savory snacks, eggs, cheese, and processed meats; the prudent pattern, positively loaded for cereals, fruits, chicken, fish, and juices; and the traditional Brazilian pattern, positively loaded for rice, beans, butter, and meat, and negatively loaded for nuts and cheese. The adjusted model showed a significant positive association only for the second tertile of the convenience pattern (IRR = 1.09; CI = 1.02–1.18) and a significant inverse association only for the third tertile of the prudent pattern (IRR = 0.87; CI = 0.80–0.94). There was no association for the traditional Brazilian pattern.
Conclusion: The prudent dietary pattern was protective against Common Mental Disorders in the highest tertile of consumption; the conventional pattern was a risk factor in its intermediate tertile of consumption. Further research is needed on dietary patterns and their association with common mental disorders to analyze effects over time.
