In addition, other studies reported that this micronutrient supplementation may improve depressed mood. The Mediterranean diet contains a sufficient amount of the micronutrients mentioned, although no study has reported an association between diet prescription and increased levels of them in depressive patients. Objective: To examine the impact of dietary patterns recommendations on micronutrient levels in depressive patients. Methods: 77 outpatients were randomly assigned either to the active (hygienic-dietary recommendations on diet, exercise, sleep, and sun exposure) or control group. Outcome measures were assessed before and after the six month intervention period. Results: Serum selenium and zinc levels were slightly low at basal point and serum selenium was inversely correlated with severity of depression (r=-0.233; p=0.041). A better outcome of depressive symptoms was found in the active group. Nevertheless, no significant differences in micronutrient levels were observed after the Mediterranean diet pattern prescription, probably due to an insufficient adherence. Conclusion: Selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamin B12 and folic acid serum levels didn`t increase in depressed patients after six months of the Mediterranean diet pattern prescription. 000062060 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000062060 590__ $$a1.497$$b2015 000062060 591__ $$aNUTRITION & DIETETICS$$b60 / 80 = 0.75$$c2015$$dQ3$$eT3 000062060 592__ $$a0.404$$b2015 000062060 593__ $$aNutrition and Dietetics$$c2015$$dQ3 000062060 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2015$$dQ3 000062060 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000062060 700__ $$aGili, M. 000062060 700__ $$aRoca, M. 000062060 700__ $$aVives, M. 000062060 700__ $$aSerrano, M.J. 000062060 700__ $$aPareja, A. 000062060 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3797-4218$$aGarcia-Campayo, J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000062060 700__ $$aGomez-Juanes, R. 000062060 700__ $$aGarcia-Toro, M. 000062060 7102_ $$11007$$2745$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
