Dietary folate intake and serum folate concentrations and depressive symptoms in a Japanese working population

在日本工作人群中，较高的血清叶酸和维生素B6浓度和较低的同型半胱氨酸浓度与抑郁症状患病率降低相关。此外，观察到基线时较高的叶酸和维生素B6血清浓度与三年随访调查时抑郁症状发生率降低之间存在前瞻性关联。对于饮食模式分析，一个健康的日本饮食模式，其特点是高摄入量的蔬菜，水果，豆制品和蘑菇与抑郁症状的患病率降低。

In a Japanese working population, higher serum concentrations of folate and vitamin B6 and lower homocysteine concentrations were associated with decreased prevalence of depressive symptoms. In addition, a prospective association between higher serum concentrations of folate and vitamin B6 at baseline and decreased incidence of depressive symptoms at the three-year follow-up survey was observed. For dietary pattern analysis, a healthy Japanese dietary pattern characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruit, soy products, and mushrooms was associated with decreased prevalence of depressive symptoms.
