Abstract

The present study was designed to analyze the relationship of dietary behavior change and nutrient intake status owing to a depression degree for 143 people over 65 years old living in Echeong and Hansan islands area, South Korea. The depression degree was classified into non depression, minor depression and depressive disorder groups using The Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale for 143 subjects. The results are as follows; the depression degree significantly made differences according to sex (p<.001), marital status (p<.05), self-related economic status (p<.001) and living expenses (p<.05). The stage of dietary behavior according to the depression degree was as follows; the non depression group was 57.6%, the minor group was 46.8% and the depressive disorder group was 27.1% of the subjects. The intake frequency of the cereal group (p<.05) and fruit group (p<.01) was significantly different among food group intake status owing to the depression degree. Mean adequacy ratio(MAR)[13], MAR[10], and MAR[4] of the depressive disorder group were significantly lower than that of the non depression and minor depression groups. Each average of MAR[13], MAR[10], and MAR[4] for the subjects were 0.68±0.2, 0.67±0.2, and 0.55±0.2. Concerned about the nutrients over 1.0 index of nutritional quality(INQ) 8 nutrients of protein, phosphorous, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B6, niacin and vitamin C belonged to the non depression group. Additionally, 6 nutrients of protein, phosphorous, iron, zinc, vitamin B6 and niacin were included for minor depression and depressive disorder groups.
