The Relationship Between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII ®) and Incident Depressive Symptoms: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

Depression is a chronic condition with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 14.6% and 11.1% in high- and lower-and-middle-income countries, respectively. (Bromet et al., 2011; Kessler and Bromet, 2013). Moreover, it is estimated that depression is one of the leading sources of disability worldwide (2015; Ferrari et al., 2013), being associated with reduced quality of life and medical morbidity (Ferrari et al., 2013; Kessler and Bromet, 2013; Rackley and Bostwick, 2012). Increasing evidence also shows that depression might confer a higher risk for several non-communicable diseases (e.g., diabetes (Rotella and Mannucci, 2013a), obesity (Luppino et al., 2010), metabolic syndrome(Vancampfort et al., 2015), cardiovascular disease (Correll et al., 2017), stroke (Tsilidis et al., 2015), acute myocardial infarction (Wu and Kling, 2016), dementia (Cherbuin and Kim, 2015) and physical health co-morbidities(Read et al., 2017)).
