Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether biological rhythm disturbance mediates the association between perceived stress and depressive symptoms and to explore the moderating effect of ego resilience on this mediation model. The results showed that perceived stress was positively associated with depressive symptoms, and biological rhythm partially mediated this relationship. The effects were moderated by ego resilience. College students with lower ego resilience showed a stronger impact of perceived stress on depressive symptoms and biological rhythm. It was concluded that schools and educators should help students identify stress correctly and provide effective strategies to cope with it. Maintaining a stable biorhythm can also protect students from developing depressive symptoms. Students with low resilience should receive more attention and assistance.

However, the impact of cognitive impairment on the association between DII and depression is not well understood. This study found that cognitive impairment may mediate the relationship between dietary inflammation and depressive symptoms, with different dimensions of cognitive function playing a role in this mediation.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between loneliness and depression among young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and the moderating role of resilience. The results show that loneliness is positively associated with depression, and both loneliness and depression are negatively associated with cognitive reappraisal and resilience. The study also finds that cognitive reappraisal partially mediates the relationship between loneliness and depression, and resilience moderates the association between loneliness and depression as well as the impact of cognitive reappraisal on depression. These findings have practical implications for understanding and combating depression in young adults during the pandemic.

Summary: The study conducted on a representative sample of Spanish adults aimed to assess the association between age groups and the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found an increase in MDD risk among younger adults during the pandemic and identified loneliness, low resilience, and worsened economic circumstances as potential mediating factors. The findings suggest that addressing loneliness, improving resilience, and providing financial support can help reduce the impact of the pandemic on depressive symptoms among young adults.
