在与抑郁症相关的可改变因素中,饮食的作用正在引起人们的注意;因此,这项病例对照研究调查了韩国年轻成年人的营养与抑郁之间的关系.使用食物记录和食物频率问卷对抑郁症患者(n=39)以及年龄和性别匹配的对照组(n=76)进行了饮食调查。抑郁症患者食用蘑菇和肉类较少,而女性食用谷物明显减少(p<0.05)。总的来说,抑郁症组消耗的能量和营养较少,这种差异在男性中更为明显。男性抑郁症组的能量营养充足比(NAR)较低,蛋白质,维生素A,硫胺素,烟酸,叶酸,和磷,而女性抑郁症组的能量NAR较低,蛋白质,烟酸,和维生素B12。抑郁症组男女的平均充足率均显着较低。此外,在抑郁症组的两种性别中,不适当的营养摄入比例较高,表现出显著的能量差异,蛋白质,烟酸,叶酸,男人和能量中的锌,核黄素,叶酸,女性的维生素C。因此,抑郁症组的男性和女性的营养摄入量都很低,营养不足和摄入不当的比例很高。这表明,对于有抑郁症状的人,膳食的数量和质量应该得到改善。
The role of diet is gaining attention among the modifiable factors associated with depression; thus, this
case-control study examined the association between nutrition and depression in young Korean adults. Dietary surveys in individuals with depression (n = 39) and age- and gender-matched controls (n = 76) were conducted using food records and food frequency questionnaires. Men with depression consumed less mushrooms and meat, while women consumed significantly less grains (p < 0.05). Overall, the depression group consumed less energy and nutrients, and the difference was more pronounced in men. The male depression group had lower nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) for energy, protein, vitamin A, thiamine, niacin, folate, and phosphorus, whereas the female depression group had lower NARs for energy, protein, niacin, and vitamin B12. The depression group had a significantly lower mean adequacy ratio in both genders. Furthermore, the proportion of inappropriate nutrient intake was higher in both genders of the depression group, exhibiting significant differences in energy, protein, niacin, folate, and zinc in men and energy, riboflavin, folate, and vitamin C in women. Hence, both men and women in the depression group had poor nutrient intake and high rates of nutrient inadequacy and improper consumption. This suggests that the quantity and quality of meals should be improved for individuals with depressive symptoms.
