A new study published last month, Do patterns of nutrient intake predict self-reported anxiety, depression and psychological distress in adults? SEPAHAN study<\/a>, reports that<\/p>\n

An “omnivore” like diet high in amino acids, cobalamin,\u00a0zinc, phosphorus, saturated fat, cholesterol and pantothenic acid is associated with reduced psychological disorders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was a cross-sectional study<\/a>, meaning it was a type of observational study design where the outcome and the exposures in the study participants are measured at the same time. The aim was to find an association (rather than causal relationship) between patterns of nutrients intake and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

The study authors had 3846 Iranian adults between 18 and 55 of age complete questionnaires in order to assess their diets and nutrient patterns, as well as psychological factors including\u00a0anxiety, depression, and overall health in general. This group comprised 1712 males and 2134 females.<\/p>\n

The study results<\/h2>\n

After calculating the daily intakes of 57 nutrients (including individual amino acids,<\/p>\n

starch, dietary fiber, simple sugars, different fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive substances), 3 nutrient patterns were identified:<\/p>\n

1) the \u201comnivore” pattern<\/p>\n

high in individual amino acids, cobalamin,\u00a0zinc, phosphorus, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and pantothenic acid<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

in both women and men, with pyridoxine (vitamin B6) high in men only<\/p>\n

2) the “grains and dairy” pattern<\/p>\n

high in thiamin, folate, selenium, iron, starch, maltose, betaine, calcium, riboflavin, and niacin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and low in the following<\/p>\n

mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and polyunsaturated fats<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3) “fruits and vegetables” pattern<\/p>\n

high in copper, vitamin C, glucose, fructose, potassium, dietary fiber, sucrose, vitamin A, magnesium and vitamin K.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These are the associations that were observed after adjusting for confounding factors:<\/p>\n
