Background: Different patterns of food consumption may be associated with a differential risk depression. Differences in dietary between men and women across different age groups have been reported, but their influence on the depression has not fully explored. Objectives: To investigate associations sex to identify vulnerable subpopulations, which inform targeted prevention intervention strategies. Methods: The ALIMENTAL study was cross-sectional, online international survey conducted 2021 2023. Dietary data were collected using validated frequency questionnaire; self-reported questionnaire. Principal component analysis (PCA) applied distinct patterns. Multivariate analyses then assess these depression, adjusting for multiple potential confounders. Results: Among 15,262 participants without chronic diseases or current psychotropic treatments, 4923 (32.2%) classified group. those aged 18–34, PCA-derived factor ultra-processed foods significantly increased both sexes similar odds ratios (women 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): (1.15; 1.27), CI: (1.07–1.18)). In PCA factors sodas (aOR 1.10, (1.06; 1.95) canned frozen (1.04; 1.15) an 35–54 years, association only observed (35–54 years: aOR 1.30, (1.20; 1.42), ≥55 1.41, (1.11; 1.79)), significant higher adherence “healthy diet” (e.g., fruits, nuts, green vegetables) lower 0.82, (0.75; 0.89), 0.79, (0.64; 0.97)). Conclusions: These results show differences regarding findings can help better target public health interventions.
