Abstract

Background: We aim to evaluate lifestyle and nutritional factors that lead to dry eye disease (DED) in a depressed population using data from the Taiwan BioBank (TWB).

Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted, and patients with depression based on a questionnaire were selected as the depression group. Each patient in the depression group was matched by age and sex to two individuals without depression, and a total of 3,754 and 7,508 patients constituted the depression and non-depression groups, respectively. Based on the questionnaire, the primary outcome was the presence of DED. Additionally, the chi-square test and interaction test were applied to survey the effect of lifestyle and nutritional factors on DED in the depression and non-depression groups.

Results: There were 822 (21.90%) and 958 (12.76%) DED patients in the depression and non-depression groups, respectively, and the incidence of DED was significantly higher in the depression group ( < 0.001). In terms of lifestyle and nutritional factors in the depression population, a higher rate of chronic pain and a sedentary lifestyle were observed than in the patients with depression without DED (both < 0.05). According to the interaction test, the chronic pain ( = 0.0227) and sedentary lifestyle ( = 0.0002) were significant risk factors for DED presence in the depression group than in the non-depression group, while the persistent coffee consumption ( = 0.0005) and tea consumption ( = 0.0003) were significant protective factors for the DED exclusively for the depression group and not for the non-depression group.

Conclusion: The depression population could be significantly benefited from physical activity, coffee intake and tea intake regarding DED development compared to the general population.
