Mediterranean diet and depression: reanalysis of a meta-analysis

Abstract

On the basis of comments we received from readers, we made some changes in the original version of our article about our study and re-analyzed the data. In this corrected version, we found an inverse significant association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and risk of depression in cohort studies (overall hazard ratio, 0.81; 95 confidence interval, 0.70-0.94). In addition, combining 8 cross-sectional studies that examined the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and depression, we found a significant inverse association (overall odds ratio, 0.81; 95 confidence interval, 0.71-0.92).
