Abstract

This study investigated the prospective associations of adhering to the EAT-Lancet reference diet with incident depression, anxiety, and their co-occurrence in 180,446 UK Biobank participants. Over 11.62 years, participants in the highest adherence group showed lower risks of depression, anxiety, and their co-occurrence compared to the lowest adherence group, consistently across three different EAT-Lancet diet indexes. Findings suggest a link between higher adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet and lower risks of incident depression, anxiety, and their co-occurrence.
