ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Spermidine (SPD) has a number of advantageous effects, including life extension and neuroprotection. However, few observational studies have investigated the association of dietary SPD intake with depression. METHODS: We used data from the 2005-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the corresponding Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED). SPD content of food groups from published data were merged with the appropriate FPED data to estimate the SPD intake for each subject. Patients with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores of 10 or above were thought to experience clinically relevant depression symptoms. Logistic regression, sensitivity analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were used. RESULTS: Among the 19,306 participants, the overall prevalence of depression was 8.72 %. After controlling for relevant confounders, individuals in the highest tertile or quartile of total SPD and SPD derived from fruits, vegetables, cereals, nuts, eggs and seafood had a significantly lower prevalence of depression (OR total SPD = 0.77, 95 % CI: 0.63-0.93); OR fruit-sourced SPD = 0.81, 95 % CI: 0.68-0.95; OR vegetable-sourced SPD = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.61-0.85; OR cereals-sourced SPD = 0.73,95 % CI:0.60-0.88; OR nuts- sourced SPD = 0.80, 95 % CI: 0.71-0.91; OR egg-sourced = 0.72, 95 % CI: 0.62-0.84 and OR seafood-sourced SPD = 0.65, 95 % CI: 0.55-0.77) comparing those in the lowest tertile or quartile. CONCLOUSION: Our fndings reveal a negative association between dietary SPD intake and depression.

OBJECTIVE: A growing number of studies have examined the 24-h rest-activity characteristics in relation to health outcomes. Up to now, few studies have paid attention to the role of rest-activity circadian rhythm in chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs); therefore, to fill this gap, our study innovatively explored the association of rest-activity circadian rhythm indices with CRDs. METHODS: A total of 7412 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 were included in this study. The rest-activity circadian rhythm indices were calculated using accelerometer data and were divided into quartiles to perform logistic regression. RESULTS: Participants in the highest quartile of Relative amplitude (RA) had a lower prevalence of emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma, compared to those in the lowest quartile. Participants in the highest quartile of Intradaily variability (IV) was associated with a higher prevalence of emphysema relative to those in the lowest quartile. Compared to those in the lowest quartile, participants in the highest quartile of the average activity of the most active continuous 10-h period (M10) had a lower prevalence of emphysema. Additionally, compared to those in the lowest quartile of the average activity of the least active continuous 5-h period (L5) and L5 start time, participants in the highest quartile had a higher prevalence of asthma. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that in general US adult population, disrupted rest-activity circadian rhythm was associated with a higher prevalence of CRDs.
