Research led by Dr. Javiera Calderón found that hens in traditional cages display at least two behaviors comparable to clinical depression.

The study, published in the journals Animal Welfare and Applied Animal Behaviour Science, compared caged hens with birds in free environments. Ninety percent of Chile’s laying hens live in traditional cages.

Dr. Calderón, a veterinarian from Universidad de Chile and PhD graduate from UACh, said the results highlight a serious ethical problem. “This speaks to us of a deep welfare issue,” she said.

A second line of the research showed that chickens form positive bonds with humans when treated gently. The findings were disseminated recently.

A study of 440 participants from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study found that accelerated epigenetic aging in monocytes—an immune cell type—tracked more closely with emotional and cognitive depression symptoms such as hopelessness and loss of pleasure than with physical symptoms like fatigue. The work, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, adds evidence that cell-type-specific aging measures could contribute to future biological tools to complement symptom-based depression screening, though researchers say more validation is needed before clinical use.
