Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Over the past decade, research has reported that diet and gut health affect anxiety symptoms through changes in the gut microbiota. Therefore, the introduction of prebiotic and probiotic food favorable for the intestinal microbiota is necessary to improve the mental health of the host. The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of prebiotic and probiotic foods to lowering anxiety symptoms using a large, nationwide population-based database.
UNASSIGNED: The study population included 4,317 individuals 19 to 64 years of age who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-3, 2019-2021). A food frequency questionnaire was used to evaluate prebiotic and probiotic food consumption. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment 7-item scale (GAD-7) assessed the severity of anxiety symptoms. The effect of prebiotic and probiotic food consumption on anxiety severity was analyzed using multiple logistic regression.
UNASSIGNED: Anxiety symptom severity was significantly lower in the highest prebiotic and/or probiotic food consumption tertiles compared to the lowest food consumption tertile. We also found a sex difference in the odds ratio for anxiety symptoms. The consumption of prebiotic food was significantly associated with the highest odds of anxiety among both men and women. However, probiotic food had a significant beneficial effect on lowering anxiety symptoms in men but not in women.
UNASSIGNED: Our finding suggests that prebiotic and probiotic food consumption might confer a beneficial influence on anxiety symptoms. Further research is required for a deeper understanding into the mechanisms of the positive effects of prebiotics and probiotics on anxiety.

摘要：
■在过去的十年中，研究报告说，饮食和肠道健康通过肠道微生物群的变化影响焦虑症状。因此,引入有利于肠道微生物群的益生元和益生菌食品对于改善宿主的心理健康是必要的。这项研究的目的是检查益生元和益生菌食品对降低焦虑症状的贡献，全国人口数据库。
■研究人群包括4,317名19至64岁的个人，他们参加了韩国国家健康和营养检查调查（KNHANESVII-3，2019-2021）。食物频率问卷用于评估益生元和益生菌食物的消耗。广泛性焦虑症评估7项量表（GAD-7）评估焦虑症状的严重程度。使用多元logistic回归分析了益生元和益生菌食物消费对焦虑严重程度的影响。
■与最低的食物消费三元相比，最高的益生元和/或益生菌食物消费三元的焦虑症状严重程度显着降低。我们还发现焦虑症状的比值比存在性别差异。在男性和女性中，益生元食物的消费与焦虑的几率最高显著相关。然而,益生菌食品对降低男性焦虑症状有显著的有益作用，但对女性没有。
■我们的发现表明，食用益生元和益生菌食物可能会对焦虑症状产生有益的影响。需要进一步的研究才能更深入地了解益生元和益生菌对焦虑的积极作用机制。
