Introduction
depression, TG, anxiety
Psychological factors can play motivational or regulatory roles in dietary choices [The use of genetic testing in the general population and clinical practice has increased, because it provides personalized information and recommendations regarding health and lifestyle behaviors at a relatively low cost [A number of studies have investigated the effect of genetic information recognition on changes in anxiety and depression levels, but existing studies demonstrated that there was limited evidence to support the effect of genetic risk disclosure on psychological changes [While there is a number of studies that investigated whether disclosing genetic information is associated with changes in dietary intake [Although changes in dietary intake or anxiety and depression levels following the disclosure of genetic information have been examined in several studies, few have investigated the effects on both anxiety and depression levels and dietary choices. Therefore, here, we aimed to investigate whether recognizing genetic information regarding personal risks for a high BMI and abnormal triglyceride (TG) and lipoprotein levels affects anxiety or depression levels, and whether changes in anxiety and depression are accompanied by changes in nutrient or food intakes.
