To investigate the relationship of fast food consumption with cognitive and metabolic function of adults (18-25 years old) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The conventionally recruited subjects underwent an evaluation that included demographic data, quality of life (wellness, stress, sleepiness, and physical activity), mini-mental status examination, and the frequency of fast food consumption. To investigate metabolic function, blood was drawn to evaluate serum HDL, LDL, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels. Cognitive function was assessed by the Cambridge neuropsychological test automated battery. The participants were divided into 2 groups based on fast food consumption: those who consumed fast food 3 times per week or less (Group 1) and those who consumed fast food more than 3 times per week (Group 2).
The mean diastolic blood pressure in Group 1 and Group 2 was 72 mmHg and 77 mmHg, respectively, a significant difference (p = 0.04). There was no significant difference for cognitive function and quality of life between the two groups. There was significant correlation of HDL with AST correct mean latency and the AST correct mean latency congruent (p = 0.02, p = 0.01, respectively) and TC with diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.003).
We concluded that fast food consumption has an effect on blood pressure but has no direct effect on cognition or quality of life.
调查沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得18至25岁成年人的快餐消费与认知及代谢功能之间的关系。
这项横断面研究在沙特阿拉伯利雅得哈立德国王大学医院医学院进行。常规招募的受试者接受了包括人口统计学数据、生活质量(健康、压力、嗜睡和身体活动)、简易精神状态检查以及快餐消费频率在内的评估。为调查代谢功能,采集血液以评估血清高密度脂蛋白(HDL)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)、胆固醇和甘油三酯水平。认知功能通过剑桥神经心理测试自动成套系统进行评估。参与者根据快餐消费情况分为两组:每周食用快餐3次或更少的人(第1组)和每周食用快餐超过3次的人(第2组)。
第1组和第2组的平均舒张压分别为72 mmHg和77 mmHg,差异有统计学意义(p = 0.04)。两组之间的认知功能和生活质量无显著差异。HDL与AST正确平均潜伏期以及AST正确平均潜伏期一致性存在显著相关性(分别为p = 0.02,p = 0.01),TC与舒张压存在显著相关性(p = 0.003)。
我们得出结论,快餐消费对血压有影响,但对认知或生活质量没有直接影响。
