Depression becomes one of the worldwide concerns. In Korea, the prevalence of depression has risen sharply and understanding of depression‐related health issues becomes critical. This study aims to examine the relationship between depression and nutrient intakes as well as oral health status among Koreans aged 39‐69 years. We examined 5,020 adults from the Ansan Cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study at baseline. People with and without depression were compared for nutrient intakes, serum indicators and oral health status. Depressed group (DG) had higher levels of serum AST, ALT, r‐GTP, TG, and total cholesterol than non‐depressed group (NDG) did in females. The difference of nutrient intakes between groups was greater in females. Energy intakes had no difference between groups, while protein and fat intakes were lower in DG than NDG. DG less consumed vitamins such as Vit.B 2 , B 3 , B 6 , Vit.C, folate, and Vit.E and minerals such as Ca, K, P, and Zn, even after adjustment for age and BMI. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) for depression was lower in female with higher quartile of Vit.B 6 and Fe intake. Intriguingly, depression was related with oral health status. The adjusted OR was increased in DG with the presence of oral dryness than NDG. The results indicated that depression was related with poor nutrient intakes and oral dryness. Further work is needed to clarify the causality association between factors. Grant Funding Source : Supported by Korea CDC (2001‐347‐6111‐221 and 2002‐347‐6111‐221) and Korean NRF (22A20130012143)
