Implication

  • Increased fish consumption is associated with reduced odds of clinical depression among children studied.
  • Vegetable intake shows a positive impact, correlating with lower anxiety and depression scores.
  • Findings suggest early dietary interventions could support better emotional health in preschoolers.
