Ultra-processed foods consumption, depression, and the risk of diabetes complications in the CARTaGENE project: a prospective cohort study in Quebec, Canada
Researchers examined the association between depression, ultra-processed food consumption (UPFs), and the risk of developing diabetes-specific complications in adults with type 2 diabetes. Data from participants enrolled in CARTaGENE were used. Over 7 years, 105 individuals developed diabetes-related complications. Participants with high depressive symptoms and high levels of UPF consumption had a higher risk of diabetes complications compared to those without depressive symptoms and low levels of UPFs in their diet. When high depressive symptoms and antidepressant use were combined with high UPF consumption, the risk of diabetes complications was higher.
The role of ultra-processed food consumption and depression on type 2 diabetes incidence: a prospective community study in Quebec, Canada
Researchers explored the link between depression and consumption of highly processed foods as potential risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. Using CARTaGENE data, findings suggest that individuals with high depressive symptoms and high consumption of ultra-processed foods had the highest risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Les chercheurs ont analysé le lien entre la dépression et la consommation d’aliments ultra-transformés (AUT) comme facteurs de risque de développer le diabète de type 2 (DT2) à l’aide de données de référence (2009-2010) de 3880 participants à CARTaGENE. Les participants ayant des symptômes dépressifs élevés et une consommation élevée d’AUT présentaient le risque le plus élevé de DT2. L’étude laisse penser que la gestion et la surveillance précoces des deux facteurs de risque pourraient être essentielles pour la prévention du diabète.
