To evaluate the moderating effect of emotion regulation between fear of COVID-19 and quality of life (QOL) among a sample of Lebanese adults. This cross-sectional study included 449 participants who completed an online survey (between December 2020 and January 2021). Higher positive ( = .047) and negative ( = .001) affect were associated with better physical QOL. Higher positive affect ( < .001) and cognitive reappraisal ( = .031) were associated with better mental QOL. The interactions fear of COVID-19 by cognitive reappraisal ( = .002) and fear of COVID-19 by expressive suppression ( = .003) were significantly associated with mental QOL. In people with high fear of COVID-19, high cognitive reappraisal and low expressive suppression were associated with better mental QOL. The results suggest that those providing mental health services during a pandemic should bolster their patients' use of cognitive reappraisal rather than expressive suppression and positive affect rather than negative affect to improve their mental and physical QOL. Awareness in all settings, from home to school/university to workplace, is recommended to restore balance in the lives of individuals during stressful times, with emotion and mental health at the center. .

Introduction: It has long been known that highly arousing emotional single items are better recollected than low arousing neutral items. Despite the robustness of this memory advantage, emotional arousing events may not always promote the retrieval of source details (i.e.

Introduction: Psychological disorders including depression and anxiety are significant public health concerns. A Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MDP) has been associated with improved mental well-being in observational studies. Evidence of the acute (defined as postprandial to 1 week) effects of an MDP on brain function, mood, cognition and important modulators, including sleep and the gut microbiota is limited.

Background: Diagnosis and intervention of prediabetes is an emerging approach to preventing the progression and complications of diabetes. Inflammatory factors and dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have been suggested as potential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of both diabetes and depression. However, the relationship between depression levels and the prevalence of prediabetes and its prognosis remains elusive.

Background: The effects of physical activity (PA) across different domains and intensities on depressive symptoms remain inconclusive. Incorporating the community-built environment (CBE) into longitudinal analyses of PA's impact on depressive symptoms is crucial.
Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of PA at different intensities-low-intensity PA (eg, walking activities) and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (eg, activities requiring substantial effort and causing faster breathing or shortness of breath)-across leisure-time and occupational domains on depressive symptom trajectories among middle-aged and older adults.
