Factors loading lower than ±0.20 are not presented for simplicity. Only food items with factor loading higher than ±0.20 for all dietary patterns are presented in the table (butter, bread, sugar, milk and fat-free milk were omitted). For men, on the 8 first patterns, number 4 (milk and dairy product), number 5 (bread, cheese, butter, regular breakfast) and number 8 (regular breakfast, lunch and dinner) are no presented here because of low interpretability and absence of relation with symptoms of depression. For women, number 6 (milk and dairy product) and number 3 (bread, carbohydrates, butter, sugar) are no presented.
