A new study finds that people who drink diet sodas or fruit drinks are more likely to be diagnosed (诊断) with dep
35、ression.The study doesnt show that diet drinks cause depression and the researchers stress their findings dont provide an explanation. They looked at more than 263,900 U.S. adults ages 50 to 71 who answered questions about their beverage （饮料） consumption（摄入量） between the years 1995 and 1996. About 1
36、0 years later (from 2004 to 2006), the same people were asked if a doctor had diagnosed them with depression since the year 2000.People who regularly drank four or more cans of any type of soda a day were 30 percent more likely to have received a diagnosis of depression than people who did not drink
37、 soda, said Dr. Honglei Chen of the National Institutes of Health, who led the study. The risk of depression was especially high for people who drank diet soda a 31 percent increased risk compared to a 22 percent increased risk for those who drank regular soda, the researchers said. Those who drank
38、four or more cans of diet fruit drinks were 51 percent more likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to those who did not drink diet fruit drinks.By contrast, people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were 10 percent less likely to have been diagnosed with depression compared to non-
39、coffee drinkers.The study only found an association, and did not determine （确定） whether diet soda or fruit drinks caused depression. Although the researchers took into account factors that could affect the results, such as age, sex, education, smoking status, physical activity, body mass index (BMI)
40、 and energy intake, its possible other circumstances, such as a family history of depression or stressful life events, could explain the association.A family history of depression and stressful life events are some of the biggest predictors of depression, said Emma Robertson-Blackmore, assistant pro
41、fessor of psychiatry at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who was not involved in the study. In addition, older people are more likely to experience stressful life events, including the death of a loved one, job changes or illnesses, Robertson-Blackmore said.However, the findings agree wit
42、h those of a few previous studies that found a link between frequent consumption of sweetened beverages and a higher prevalence (流行程度) of depression, the researchers said. (Diet sodas and fruit drinks are sweetened, but their sweeteners contain no calories.)“More research is needed to confirm these
43、findings, and people with depression should continue to take depression medications prescribed by their doctors,” said Chen.43.
