Dietary total antioxidant capacity is inversely associated with depression, anxiety and some oxidative stress biomarkers in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study

Table 3 Multivariate linear regression analyses of the energy-adjusted DTAC and depression, stress, and anxiety scores (n = 175)

DTAC (μmol/day)^†	Depression score		Stress score		Anxiety score
DTAC (μmol/day)^†	Coefficient standard β	P	Coefficient standard β	P	Coefficient standard β	P
Unadjusted model	− 0.14	0.053	− 0.05	0.3	− 0.19	0.008
Model 1	− 0.14	0.06	− 0.06	0.3	− 0.19	0.01
Model 2	− 0.16	0.03	− 0.10	0.1	− 0.21	0.007

Depression, anxiety, stress scores were log10 transformed
DTAC dietary total antioxidant capacity
Model 1, adjustment for age (year) and years since menopause (year)
Model 2, further adjustment for education (year), waist circumference (cm), physical activity (MET min/week), dietary supplement use (yes/no), dietary intake of fiber (g/day), energy (kcal/day) and coffee (g/day)
^†DTAC was adjusted for energy intake by residual method
