“…Two longitudinal study [ 27 , 44 ], two cohort studies analyzing the baseline characteristics [ 23 , 28 ] and nine cross-sectional studies [ 17 , 21 , 22 , 34 – 36 , 45 – 47 ] were included. Studies were published between 2016 and 2019 and seven of these studies were carried out in Spain [ 17 , 23 , 28 , 34 , 36 , 44 , 45 ], two in Italy [ 21 , 35 ], one in France [ 22 ], one in USA [ 27 ], one in Australia [ 46 ] and one in Iran [ 47 ]. Studies where cross-sectional data were derived from longitudinal, cohort or even randomized trials were reported as cross-sectional.…”

“…We did not exclude disease status; accordingly five studies evaluated the dietary patterns with factor or cluster analysis [ 17 , 22 , 27 , 28 , 47 ], while eight studies evaluate the MDP [ 21 , 23 , 34 – 36 , 44 – 46 ]. Moreover, among all of the studies, one study was carried out among breast cancer survivals [ 17 ], one among subjects with intermediate cardiovascular risk [ 44 ], one in colorectal cancer [ 27 ], one in multiple sclerosis [ 47 ], one among patients with type 1 diabetes [ 21 ], one among patients with type 2 diabetes [ 34 ], one in patients with minor digestive symptoms [ 22 ] and others among general apparently healthy individuals. From the perspective of age, two studies were among older individual [ 23 , 45 ] while others were performed among general population [ 17 , 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 , 34 – 36 , 44 , 46 , 47 ].…”

“…One possible explanation is that high in saturated and trans fats, refined sugars, red and processed meat could reduce the brain derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) concentrations and to inhibit its expression via several pro-inflammatory cytokine production [55,56]. In the study of Moravejolahkami et al [47], examining the association between dietary patterns and HRQOL among 261 multiple sclerosis patients, results showed that ''Fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy-based'' pattern and ''Mediterranean-Like'' dietary pattern were associated with higher physical and mental health composite scores (P adjusted < 0.001). In another study by Sanchez-Aguadero et al [44], greater adherence to the MED was related to higher scores on the SF-12 social functioning and mental component.…”

Background Health related quality of life (HRQOL) is a potent indicator of individual’s happiness and life satisfaction. The way in which the HRQOL is affected by the diet is a topic of constant interest and debate among researchers. Evaluating the association between single nutrients or foods and HRQOL fails to take into consideration the complex interactions between nutrients. Also, the findings from previous investigations on the relationship between dietary patterns and HRQOL have been inconsistent. Therefore, our aim was to assess the existing evidence regarding the relationship between the dietary patterns and HRQOL by conducting a systematic review. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences and Google scholar databases from inception to March 2020, to identify studies that investigated associations between the dietary patterns (regardless of methods used to define dietary patterns) and HRQOL domains. Two researchers independently checked titles and abstracts, evaluated full-text studies, extracted data, and appraised their quality using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS). Results Thirteen studies (four longitudinal, and nine cross-sectional studies), with a total of 43,445 subjects, were included. Of the studies included in this review, eight studies evaluated the association between "Mediterranean" dietary patterns (MDP) and HRQOL, while five studies examined the association between different dietary patterns ("Healthy", "Unhealthy", "Western", "Fruit and vegetable", "Bread and butter" and etc.) and HRQOL. Excluding three studies which showed no significant association, healthy dietary patterns such as MDP, "Healthy" and "Fruit and vegetable" dietary patterns were associated with better HRQOL in physical and mental components scores. The quality assessment of included studies according to NOS criteria were ranged between medium to high quality. Conclusion According to the current evidence, "Healthy" dietary patterns and “Mediterranean” dietary patterns are associated with better dimension scores of HRQOL in both physical and mental summaries. While, unhealthy dietary patterns and "Western" dietary patterns are associated with lower scores of HRQOL. Further longitudinal studies are required to clarify the association between dietary patterns and HRQOL

“…We recently identified a significant relationship between Mediterranean-like dietary pattern and QOL; fatigue severity and anthropometric indices such as BMI and Percent Body Fat were also positively related to healthier patterns. [17] Therefore, this trial was designed to investigate the effects of a modified form of Mediterranean Diet (mMeD), instead of the previously tested multimodal interventions, on QOL and fatigue severity in MS volunteers.…”

Background Fast foods, though very popular, are commonly known as unhealthy foods. However, coronavirus pandemic may have influenced on food choices of the general population. This study investigated the changes in fast food consumption during epidemic lockdown 2020. Materials and Methods This study was part of a nationwide survey having been conducted using a web‐based electronic self‐administered questionnaire. The questionnaire link was extensively distributed among the whole population both through popular social media platforms and by nutrition and health workers of health offices and medical universities of all provinces. The questionnaire included questions about socio‐demographic characteristics, changes in frequency of fast food consumption as compared with before pandemic, and the reasons for these changes. Results A total of 21,290 households took part in the study of whom 89.8% were male‐headed, and almost 74% were from urban areas. Decrease in fast food consumption was reported by 74.8%, while increase in fast food consumption was reported by 2% of the households during the COVID‐19 quarantine. Among those who decreased their fast food consumption, about 82% had completely omitted them from their food baskets. Fear of contamination of fast foods by coronavirus and increase in the number of people at home were the most and the least frequent reasons for decreasing fast food consumption, respectively. Conclusion Fast food consumption has dramatically decreased during the lockdown period in Iranian households. Though it may be considered a pleasant offshoot of disastrous COVID‐19 epidemic, the foods replaced fast foods in Iranian households and the overall health consequences warrant further studies.
