Higher adherence to an HLCD is associated with reduced risks of depression, anxiety, and their comorbidity, potentially following a non-linear threshold pattern. While inflammation acts as a mediator, its modest contribution suggests that other biological mechanisms may also play pivotal roles in this protective relationship.
