The cohort has been used to identify dietary and lifestyle
determinants of various conditions, including diabetes, obesity and
depression. Questionnaires to assess dietary intake were completed at
the start of the project and again after 10 years. A total of 1,550
participants reported a clinical diagnosis of depression or had used
antidepressant drugs after a median follow-up of 8.5 years. The
Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 was associated with the greatest
reduction of risk of depression but most of the effect could be
explained by its similarity with the Mediterranean Diet.
