Abstract Aim: Examine cross-sectional associations between mid-pregnancy food intake indicators and prenatal depressive symptomatology. Methods: This secondary analysis of the Comparison of Two Screening Strategies for Gestational Diabetes trial (N = 718) examined domains of mid-pregnancy food intake (direct timing, energy timing, meal/snack structure, meal energy distribution, diet quality) derived from 24-hour dietary recalls. Depressive symptoms were measured with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Generalized linear models examined associations between food intake indicators, total, and high (EPDS [≥]13) depressive symptoms. Results: Mean (SD) EPDS score was [6.3 (4.9)]; 12.4% (n = 89) had high depressive symptoms. Eating frequency (B = 0.08 [0.02, 0.14], p = 0.009), snack frequency (B = 0.06 [0.00, 0.12], p = 0.040), nighttime snacking frequency (B = 0.06 [0.00, 0.11], p = 0.041), and total daily energy intake (B = 0.06 [0.01, 0.12], p = 0.031) were positively associated with total depressive symptoms. Energy intake from breakfast (PR = 1.2 [1.0, 1.3], p = 0.017) was associated with a higher prevalence of high depressive symptoms. Energy intake from dinner (PR = 0.81 [0.69, 0.94], p = 0.007), later timing of the first eating episode (PR = 0.83 [0.70, 0.99], p = 0.034) and first energy quartile (PR = 0.84 [0.70, 1.0], p = 0.048), were associated with a lower prevalence of high depressive symptoms. Conclusion: These findings extend prior chrononutrition-depression literature to the prenatal period, implicating eating frequency, energy intake, and meal energy timing and distribution in depressive symptomatology during pregnancy, warranting further longitudinal investigation.
