Abstract

Background: Depression is a mood-related disease that affects a person's life. The effects of Ramadan fasting on mental health, including depression, have been investigated in a few previous studies. So, this study examines the long-term association between fasting during Ramadan and depression.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study based on the data of the MASHAD (Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder) study. Depression was considered as scores >13 using Beck's depression inventory II (BDI II). The study subjects included three groups of healthy, people who developed depression during follow-up (Dep1-, Dep2+), and people who suffered from depression during study (Dep1+, Dep2+).

Results: A total of 8609 individuals completed the study. There was no significant association between fasting throughout life and Ramadan with the incidence of depression (p > 0.05). However, an earlier age of initiation for the first experience of Ramadan fasting was associated with 8.4% higher incidence of depression (OR: 0.916, CI (0.889-0.944)) in Dep1-, Dep2 + group and 10.7% for Dep1+, Dep2+ (OR: 0.893, CI: (0.861-0.925)) (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Fasting during Ramadan may not be associated with the incidence of depression, but the lower age of first Ramadan fasting could be related to depression.

斋月禁食与抑郁评分的长期关联:来自MASHAD队列研究的结果。
背景:抑郁症是一种影响人一生的情绪相关疾病。斋月禁食对心理健康的影响,包括抑郁症,已经在之前的一些研究中进行了调查。因此,这项研究考察了斋月期间禁食与抑郁症之间的长期联系。方法:这是一项基于Mashhad (Mashhad卒中和心脏动脉粥样硬化性疾病)研究数据的回顾性队列研究。使用贝克抑郁量表II (BDI II)将抑郁视为> - 13分。研究对象包括三组健康人,在随访期间出现抑郁症的人(Dep1-, Dep2+),以及在研究期间患有抑郁症的人(Dep1+, Dep2+)。结果:共有8609人完成了研究。终生禁食和斋月与抑郁症发生率无显著相关性(p < 0.05)。然而,在Dep1-、Dep2+组中,较早开始斋戒的年龄与抑郁症发病率增加8.4%相关(OR: 0.916, CI (0.889-0.944)), Dep1+、Dep2+组中与抑郁症发病率增加10.7%相关(OR: 0.893, CI: (0.861-0.925)) (p结论:斋月期间斋戒可能与抑郁症发病率无关,但首次斋戒的年龄较低可能与抑郁症有关。
