Effect of nutrition intervention for depression in the elderly in the mountainous areas

增加鱼的摄入量(鱼烹饪学校)被认为是抑郁症的影响。我们研究了从2009年到2010年每月举办一次鱼烹饪班的22名老年人。65~74岁老年人Zung自评抑郁量表评分从37.4±6.1分降至31.7±7.7分(0.05~0.1)，而75岁及以上老年人Zung自评抑郁量表无明显变化。老年人经常吃鱼似乎能缓解抑郁情绪。

To increase the intake of fish (fish cooking school) was considered the effect of the depression. We studied 22 elderly people who joint fish cooking classes held once a month from 2009 to 2010. In the old elderly (65-74 years old), Zung self-assessment Depression Scale was from 37.4±6.1 points to 31.7±7.7 points (0.05<p<0.1), while old-old elderly (75 years and over) showed no changes. Frequent fish consumption in elderly seems to moderate depression mood.
