In April this year, scholars studied the correlation between the intake of lycopene from tomatoes in the diet of American adults and the risk of depression. Data from 2007 to 2016 NHANES surveys were analyzed for 18,664 participants aged 20 years and above, of which 90,80 were male and 95,84 were female. 8.98% of the participants were diagnosed with depression, defined as a PHQ-9 score ≥ 10. Compared to participants without depression, depression patients had a significantly lower dietary intake of lycopene. Notably, more than half (55.07% ) of the depression patients had a dietary intake of lycopene that was lower than the median for all participants, while the dietary intake of lycopene was more evenly distributed among the non-depressed group. Dietary lycopene intake was estimated based on the average of two 24-hour dietary recalls.
