The study investigated the nutrient intake of depressed and nondepressed subjects.
Twenty-nine depressed subjects and a matched group of nondepressed subjects completed a 3-day food record.
Results revealed that depressed and nondepressed groups consume similar amounts of all nutrients except protein and carbohydrates. Nondepressed subjects consume more protein and depressed subjects consume more carbohydrates. The increase in carbohydrate consumption comes primarily from an increase in sucrose consumption.
The increased carbohydrate consumption is consistent with the carbohydrate cravings characteristic of the depressed and may relate to the development or maintenance of depression.
本研究调查了抑郁和非抑郁受试者的营养摄入情况。
29名抑郁受试者和一组匹配的非抑郁受试者完成了一份为期3天的饮食记录。
结果显示，抑郁组和非抑郁组除蛋白质和碳水化合物外，其他所有营养素的摄入量相似。非抑郁受试者摄入更多蛋白质，而抑郁受试者摄入更多碳水化合物。碳水化合物摄入量的增加主要源于蔗糖摄入量的增加。
碳水化合物摄入量的增加与抑郁症患者典型的碳水化合物渴望相一致，可能与抑郁症的发生或维持有关。
