Lifestyle and BrainAGE in Adult Depression

Sophie Frangou @frangoulab.bsky.social · Mar 30

New Preprint tinyurl.com/mvjybsh5tory Adults with depression show differences in brain aging based on lifestyle. Those with balanced habits had the lowest mood symptoms and brainAGE, while those with poor diet and inactivity showed the highest. #BrainHealth #Depression #BrainAGE

Background: This study tested whether lifestyle and fitness features that influence brain health in the general population differentially affect adults with a history of depression. Brain health was a...
