Adherence to a nutrient-dense diet can have an impact on depression and other mental health issues. Little is known whether this is attributed to some or all components and how these differ in a country that is known to have a vast diversity of nutrient-dense foods. The aim was to examine whether there is a relationship between individual food groups with depression and other mental health disorders. Data was from 89,955 Brazilians from the National Health Survey. Mental health and diet were accessed using a screener questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were calculated. Persons living with depression had significantly lower diet scores for vegetables/fruits (β = −0.08, 95 % CI -0.13, −0.02), grains/roots (β = -0.05; 95%CI (−0.07, −0.03)), beans (β = -0.03; 95%CI (−0.04, −0.01)) and higher scores for sweetened beverages (β = 0.04; 95%CI (0.01, 0.07)), sweets and sugars (β = 0.03; 95%CI (0.01, 0.05) and high fat/sodium products (β = 0.04; 9%CI (0.01, 0.07). Individuals living with other mental disorders showed lower scores for grains/roots (β = -0.03; 95%CI (−0.06, −0.01)) and higher scores for sweets and sugars (β = 0.06; 95%CI (0.03, 0.09)) and high fat/sodium products (β = 0.05; 95%CI (0.01, 0.09)). People with mental health disorders are more likely to have an unhealthy diet. Relationships were slightly stronger with depression in particular food groups as other mental disorders. Further studies are needed to help in the prevention of these disorders.

15 岁以上巴西人的总体饮食质量、食物类别和心理健康障碍：巴西国家健康调查 - 2019 年

坚持营养丰富的饮食可能会对抑郁症和其他心理健康问题产生影响。很少有人知道这是否归因于某些或全部成分，以及这些成分在一个以营养丰富的食物而闻名的国家有何不同。目的是检查个别食物组与抑郁症和其他精神健康障碍之间是否存在关系。数据来自 89,955 名巴西人的国家健康调查。通过筛查问卷了解心理健康和饮食情况。计算描述性统计和回归分析。抑郁症患者的蔬菜/水果 (β = -0.08, 95% CI -0.13, -0.02)、谷物/根类 (β = -0.05; 95% CI (-0.07, -0.03))、豆类 (β = -0.03; 95%CI (−0.04, -0.01)) 以及含糖饮料 (β = 0.04; 95%CI (0.01, 0.07))、糖果和糖 (β = 0.03; 95%CI) 得分较高(0.01, 0.05) 和高脂肪/钠产品 (β = 0.04; 9%CI (0.01, 0.07)。患有其他精神障碍的个体在谷物/根类方面得分较低 (β = -0.03; 95%CI (−0.06) ，−0.01))，甜食和糖分较高 (β = 0.06; 95%CI (0.03, 0.09)) 和高脂肪/钠产品 (β = 0.05; 95%CI (0.01, 0.09))。健康障碍更可能与特定食物组的抑郁症相关，而其他精神障碍则需要进一步的研究来帮助预防这些疾病。
