1

Values are ORs (95% CIs) unless otherwise noted. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the relation between the omega-3 index and CES-D scores ≥16 at baseline and at 2-y follow-up. CES-D, Center for Epidemiological Studies–Depression Scale; 8-OHdG, 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine.

2

Excluded participants reporting antidepressant use at baseline (n = 263).

3

Values are unadjusted mean ± SE (minimum–maximum) 8-OHdG concentrations.

4

Model 1 adjusted for age and sex; model 2 adjusted as in model 1 plus for current smoker, physical activity score, high school education, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease; model 3 adjusted as in model 2 plus for Healthy Eating Index 2005 score (excluding oil component).

5

Excluded those reporting antidepressant use at baseline or follow-up (n = 334).

6

CES-D2y models were additionally adjusted for time between visits.
