Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There are nearly 821 million hungry people in the world, more than 650 million people are obese. From the perspective of the relationship between food nutrition and human health, a balanced diet, and reasonable nutrition are of great significance to human health. If humans want to maintain their health, they must pay attention to the principles of diet and nutrition. Unbalanced nutrient intake will cause many diseases. Therefore, reasonable nutrition and a balanced diet are important measures to prevent diseases. Overnutrition and lifestyle diseases have become the number one killer threatening human health. Various chronic diseases such as obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc., are caused by people not paying attention to reasonable nutrition. A good diet is a nutritious lifestyle that promotes good health and promotes the well-being of people of all ages. The SI “Research on Diet and Human Health” deals with the interesting topic of diet and healthy styles, in which I hope to have your collaboration.

The associations between Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence and depression levels have been synthesized from observational studies. However, a systematic review with meta-analysis including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on this relationship in adults with depressive disorders remains lacking. This protocol was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis for Protocols statement. MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane CENTRAL, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases will be systematically searched to identify studies published from database inception up to 30 September 2022. The inclusion criteria will comprise RCTs reporting pre-post changes in depression status (symptoms or remission) after a MD intervention compared to a control condition in adults over 18 years with depressive disorders. Pooled effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the DerSimonian random-effects model. This study protocol determines the methodological approach for the systematic review and meta-analysis that will summarize the available evidence on the efficacy of MD interventions on depressive symptoms in adults with depressive disorders. The findings from this review may have implications for public mental health programs. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication, conference presentation, and infographics. No ethical approval will be required since only published data will be used. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42022341895. Full article
