Targeting depression for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD): the role of diet in risk reduction

传统上，预防人们患上心脏病等心血管疾病的努力主要集中在减少吸烟和酒精摄入量以及改善体力活动和饮食。现在有证据表明，抑郁症也可能导致心血管疾病，而不健康的饮食可能会导致这种关系。这项研究将确定以抑郁症患者为目标并通过健康饮食改善他们的情绪最终是否会降低他们患心血管疾病的风险。

Traditionally, efforts to prevent people from developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) like heart disease have focused on reducing smoking and alcohol intake and improving physical activity and diet. There is now evidence that having depression might also lead to CVD and that unhealthy eating might contribute to this relationship. This research will determine whether targeting people with depression and improving their mood through healthy eating ultimately reduces their CVD risk.
