There is evidence that offenders consume diets lacking in essential nutrients and this could adversely affect their behaviour.
To test empirically if physiologically adequate intakes of vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids cause a reduction in antisocial behaviour.
Experimental, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial of nutritional supplements on 231 young adult prisoners, comparing disciplinary offences before and during supplementation.
Compared with placebos, those receiving the active capsules committed an average of 26.3% (95% CI 8.3-44.33%) fewer offences (P=0.03, two-tailed). Compared to baseline, the effect on those taking active supplements for a minimum of 2 weeks (n=172) was an average 35.1% (95% CI 16.3-53.9%) reduction of offences (P<0.001, two-tailed), whereas placebos remained within standard error.
Antisocial behaviour in prisons, including violence, are reduced by vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids with similar implications for those eating poor diets in the community.
有证据表明，罪犯的饮食缺乏必需营养素，这可能会对他们的行为产生不利影响。
通过实证检验维生素、矿物质和必需脂肪酸的生理适宜摄入量是否会减少反社会行为。
对231名年轻成年囚犯进行营养补充剂的实验性、双盲、安慰剂对照随机试验，比较补充营养前后的违纪行为。
与安慰剂组相比，服用活性胶囊的人犯罪平均减少26.3%（95%可信区间8.3 - 44.33%）（P = 0.03，双侧）。与基线相比，至少服用2周活性补充剂的人（n = 172）犯罪平均减少35.1%（95%可信区间16.3 - 53.9%）（P < 0.001，双侧），而安慰剂组仍在标准误差范围内。
维生素、矿物质和必需脂肪酸可减少监狱中的反社会行为，包括暴力行为，这对社区中饮食不良的人也有类似影响。
