“…Adherence to a 'processed food' dietary pattern was linked with increased risk, while a 'whole food' dietary pattern decreased the risk of depression in British middle-aged women (17) . Similar findings have also been reported from Norway (18) as well as from Chinese adolescents (19) . Almost all previous reports on dietary patterns and depression came from Western populations and we are not aware of any report in non-Western nations, particularly in Middle Eastern populations, where the dietary intakes are highly different from those in other parts of the world (20) .…”

Objective: Psychological disorders are highly prevalent worldwide. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between major dietary patterns and prevalence of psychological disorders in a large sample of Iranian adults. Design: A cross-sectional study was done to identify dietary patterns derived from factor analysis. Dietary data were collected through the use of a validated dishbased semi-quantitative FFQ. Psychological health was examined by use of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the General Health Questionnaire. Setting: The study was conducted in Isfahan, Iran, within the framework of the Study on Epidemiology of Psychological, Alimentary Health and Nutrition (SEPAHAN). Subjects: Iranian adults (n 3846) aged 20-55 years. Results: After adjustment for potential confounders, greater adherence to the lactovegetarian dietary pattern was protectively associated with depression in women (OR = 0·65; 95 % CI 0·46, 0·91). Normal-weight participants in the top quintile of this dietary pattern tended to have decreased odds of anxiety compared with those in the bottom quintile (OR = 0·61; 95 % CI 0·38, 1·00). In addition, the traditional dietary pattern was associated with increased odds of depression (OR = 1·42; 95 % CI 1·01, 1·99) and anxiety (OR = 1·56; 95 % CI 1·00, 2·42) in women. Normalweight participants in the highest quintile of the traditional dietary pattern had greater odds for anxiety (OR = 1·89; 95 % CI 1·12, 3·08) compared with those in the lowest quintile. The Western dietary pattern was associated with increased odds of depression in men (OR = 1·73; 95 % CI 1·07, 2·81) and anxiety in normal-weight participants (OR = 2·05; 95 % CI 1·22, 3·46). There was a significant increasing trend in the odds of psychological distress across increasing quintiles of the fast food dietary pattern in women (P-trend = 0·02). Conclusions: Recommendation to increase the intake of fruits, citrus fruits, vegetables, tomato and low-fat dairy products and to reduce the intakes of snacks, high-fat dairy products, chocolate, carbonated drinks, sweets and desserts might be associated with lower chance of psychological disorders.

“…Consistent with current literature, healthy dietary consumption in terms of lower levels of fruit, vegetable, fruit juice, and potato intake, and high levels of green salad consumption, had greater odds of poor mental health regarding depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide plan, for the most part of Asians, Caucasians, and African Americans Weng et al, 2011). However, unexpectedly, mixed findings were displayed regarding greater carbonated soft drink and milk consumption.…”

“…On the one hand, there is convincing evidence that the dietary patterns of adolescents is one of the significant indicators of better mental health outcomes (Bakhtiyari, 2012;Estherlydia & John, 2009;Lien, 2007;Lien, Heyerdahl, Thoresen, & Bjertness, 2006;Oddy et al, 2009;Takaoka & Kawakami, 2013;Weng et al, 2011) in which healthy eating habits decreased the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidality. Hence, healthy dietary patterns are considered one of the modifiable protective factors (McMartin, Jacka, & Colman, 2013) based on positive youth development and psychology.…”

“…Some studies have suggested that an increase in carbohydrate-dense but nutrient-poor foods such as sweets, snacks, and fast food may be used to cope with negative mood and elevate mood by increasing brain serotonin levels (24). Regarding red meat consumption, the study found that a more healthy frequency of meat consumption (once a week) was associated with the highest happiness score and the lowest depressive scores, which was also found in a Scottish health survey (25).…”

Background: Dietary intake is important for physical and mental health. Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of dietary behaviors on psychological well-being and mental distress in a large cross-national sample of university students from five ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam) Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, 3357 university students (Mean age = 20.5 years, SD = 1.6), who were randomly selected, responded to a questionnaire including measures of dietary behaviors, psychological well-being, and mental distress. Results: In analysis of covariance, adjusted for age, sex, subjective socioeconomic status, country, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity, positive dietary behaviors (fruit and vegetable consumption, daily breakfast, fat avoidance, and eating foods high in fiber) were associated with happiness, life satisfaction, and self-reported health. Fruit consumption and regular breakfast were negatively associated with depression and traumatic stress symptoms. Unhealthy dietary behaviors (soft drinks, fast foods, and eating snacks) were associated with unhappiness, low life satisfaction, and depression symptoms. Conclusions: Overall, the study found some evidence indicating that healthier dietary behaviors were associated with higher psychological well-being and lower mental distress, suggesting that a diet intervention may be helpful in preventing or alleviating mental distress in this ASEAN university student population.
