Late-life depression is defined as first onset after 65 years of age and\, despite having lower prevalence in commu nity–dwelling seniors compared to other stages of the life span\, it negat ively affects health outcomes. Most evidence linking dietary factors with depression in old age comes from cross-sectional studies\, which cannot pr ovide information on the direction of the association. The Québec Longitud inal Study on Nutrition and Aging (NuAge) provides an ideal setting to exp lore such a relationship among a healthy\, community-dwelling elderly popu lation. The three objectives of this thesis were to explore the longitudin al associations of i) dietary patterns and macronutrient intake and of ii) B6\, B12 and folate intakes with the incidence of depression in late life \; and iii) to investigate whether depression significantly affects short- term nutrient intakes (reverse causality effect) in comparison to intakes among non-depressed seniors.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community is welcom e to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accompli shments of our PhD candidates.
