| Abstract | Depression affects 264 million persons in the world, accounting for some 4.3% of the global
burden of disease. Current studies indicate that the decrease in the consumption of omega-3 food
sources is associated with the increasing incidence of depression. The study aims to assess the
association between the consumption of omega-3 and the maintenance and incidence of depressive
episodes in adults (39–64 years) and elderly adults (>65 years). This was a longitudinal study using
data from the baseline and first follow-up wave of the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSABrasil).
Depressive episodes were obtained with the Clinical Interview Schedule Revised (CIS-R), and
food consumption was measured with the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Logistic regression
was used to analyze associations between the consumption of omega-3 and depressive episodes.
Fatty acids from the omega-3 family showed a protective effect against the maintenance of depressive
episodes. In relation to incidence, the estimates suggest that the higher the consumption of omega-3
acids, the lower the risk of developing depressive episodes, and significant associations were found
between the consumption of omega-3 and alpha-linolenic acid. Dietary consumption of omega-3,
DHA, EPA, DPA, and alpha linolenic fatty acids may have a protective effect against the maintenance
and incidence of depressive episodes. | pt_BR |
