Synopsis

The aim of this project is to investigate the role of diet on depression in mid-aged Australian women. We will investigate whether poorer diet leads to depression or whether depressed women are more likely to adopt a poorer diet. Poorer diet will be defined by low intakes of fruit and vegetables and high intakes of energy dense foods.
