The impact of living alone on older adults’ mental health and the mediating role of healthy diet by Jichao Zheng, Zeqiang Ni

“…Therefore, it is important to examine the role of these mediating variables between living alone and mental health to help us develop cost-effective mental health interventions.MethodsWe used the multiple regression method in the R software to test the effect of living arrangements on depression by placing the living arrangements variable, the covariates, and the healthy diet variables into the regression equation. We then used the structural equation method with the R software package lavaan to derive the path coefficients of living arrangements on depression scores through the three mediating paths of fruits, vegetables, and nuts consumption. …”
