“…In line with our study, Pengpid et al found that vegetable consumption did not signi cantly decrease the risk of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder [37]. Also, these ndings were consistent with a study in Iranian which stated that vegetable consumption was not associated with anxiety and stress [22]. On the other hand, several studies have shown that vegetable consumption has a protective effect against mental disorders [19,23].…”

“…Similar ndings have also been demonstrated in Chinese adolescents [21]. A strong positive association has been found between "Western" dietary pattern and anxiety and stress; also, there was an inverse association between Mediterranean-type dietary pattern and anxiety in Iranian population [22]. The majority of studies have tried to assess the relationship between dietary patterns and depression, this is while a few number of studies have focused on association between dietary patterns and anxiety [23].…”

Background: The role of diet in developing psychological disorders has been considered by researchers in recent years. Objective: To examine the association between major dietary patterns and severe mental disorders in a large sample of adults living in Yazd city, central Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study used the baseline data of a population-based cohort study (Yazd Health study: YaHS). Dietary intakes were assessed by a multiple-choice semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in the Yazd Nutrition survey (TAMYZ). Psychological assessments were also done by using depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21 (DASS-21) questionnaire. Major dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis (PCA). Multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary patterns' scores and mental disorders.Results: A total of 7574 participants were included in the current analysis. Four major dietary patterns were identified: "Sugar and Fats”, “Red meat and Fish”, "Fruits" and “Vegetables”. After adjustment for all confounding variables, participants in the fifth quintile of “Fruits” dietary pattern which was correlated with dried fruits, canned fruits, fruit juice, olive, hydrogenated fats and fruits had a lower odds of severe depression (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.45–0.81, P trend=0.008), anxiety (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.50–0.80, P trend=0.001), and stress, (OR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.30–0.68, P trend=0.001). Conclusions: The intake of a dietary pattern high in dried fruits, canned fruits, fruit juice, olive, hydrogenated fats and fruits might be inversely associated with depression, anxiety and stress. Future prospective studies are needed to warrant this finding.

Background The diet’s role in developing psychological disorders has been considered by researchers in recent years. Objective To examine the association between major dietary patterns and severe mental disorders symptoms in a large sample of adults living in Yazd city, central Iran. Methods This cross-sectional study used the baseline data of a population-based cohort study (Yazd Health study: YaHS). Dietary intakes were assessed by a multiple-choice semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ, Yazd nutrition survey called TAMYZ). Psychological assessments were also done by using the depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21 (DASS-21) questionnaire. Major dietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis (PCA). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between dietary patterns and mental disorders symptoms. Results A total of 7574 adults were included in the current analysis. Four major dietary patterns were identified: "Sugar and Fats”, “Processed Meats and Fish”, "Fruits" and “Vegetables and Red Meat”. After adjustment for all confounding variables, participants in the fifth quintile of “Fruits” dietary pattern which was highly correlated with dried fruits, canned fruits, fruit juice, olive, hydrogenated fats and fruits intake, had a lower odds of severe depression (OR=0.61, 95% CI: 0.45–0.81, p for trend=0.057), anxiety (OR=0.64, 95% CI: 0.50–0.80, p for trend=0.007), and stress, (OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.30–0.68, p for trend=0.081). Conclusions The intake of a dietary pattern high in dried fruits, canned fruits, fruit juice, olive, hydrogenated fats, and fruits might be inversely associated with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Future prospective studies are needed to warrant this finding.

“…Besides, no significant association was noted between dietary patterns and anxiety. Similar to this finding, another dataset also failed to show any connection between adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet loaded with salads, tofu, beans, yogurt, red wine, fruits, and nuts, and anxiety in 20–90 years women [ 41 ]. However, some studies counteract our results.…”

Empirically derived dietary patterns and their association with mental health: a cross-sectional sample of Iranian migraine patients (2019–2020)

Objectives Based on a comprehensive search, we realized that there is no previous study conducted among migraine patients to assess the association between major dietary patterns and mental health. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the relationship between empirically-derived dietary patterns and depression, anxiety, and stress in a sample of Iranian migraine patients. Methods A total of 262 migraine patients (20–50 years) were selected through simple random sampling method for this study. Dietary intake during the previous year was determined using a validated 168-item, semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and major dietary patterns were derived using principal component analysis (PCA). For mental health evaluation, authors used the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS- 21) questionnaire. Statistical analysis included multinomial logistic regression analysis and results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results We identified three major dietary patterns including “traditional”, “western”, and “healthy”. After controlling for potential confounders, those in the highest tertile of the healthy dietary pattern had lower odds of depression (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.22, 0.88; P for trend: 0.030) and stress (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.99; P for trend: 0.049). However, no significant association was observed between western and traditional dietary patterns and mental disorders. Conclusions In summary, significant associations were documented between healthy dietary patterns and risk of depression and stress. Current findings urge migraine patients to increase their intakes of fruits, vegetables, eggs, whole grains, nuts and seeds, meat, and poultry and reduce the intake of fast foods and snacks, processed meat, fish, cola drink, condiments, dairy, and vegetable pickles to diminish the chance of depression and stress.
