Diet changes through disasters may affect psychological health as well as general health. The present study aimed to find food security status-that is defined by having enough food for an active, healthy life-dietary patterns and their relationship with probable psychiatric disorders in earthquake survivors.
This cross-sectional study conducted on 350 women who survived in East Azarbaijan earthquake (At 4:53 am on 11 August 2012). Food frequency questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and food security questionnaire of the US Department of Agriculture were used to assess dietary patterns, psychological and food security status, respectively. P values were considered significant at <0.05.
Four major dietary patterns were defined based on factor analysis. These four dietary patterns explained of 37.09% variation of food intakes. Ten per cent of the population was food secure. There was no significant association between tertiles of major dietary patterns and risk of all psychological disorders (p values>0.05).
There was no statistically significant association between major dietary patterns and psychiatric disorders. Further well-designed studies need to find any significant association.
灾害期间的饮食变化可能会影响心理健康和整体健康。本研究旨在探讨食物安全状况（即有足够的食物维持积极健康的生活）、饮食模式及其与地震幸存者可能出现的精神障碍之间的关系。
本横断面研究纳入了 350 名在东阿塞拜疆地震（2012 年 8 月 11 日凌晨 4 点 53 分）中幸存的女性。采用食物频率问卷、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表以及美国农业部的食物安全问卷评估饮食模式、心理和食物安全状况。P 值<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
基于因子分析，确定了 4 种主要的饮食模式。这 4 种饮食模式解释了 37.09%的食物摄入量变化。10%的人群食物安全。主要饮食模式的三分位与所有心理障碍的风险之间无显著关联（p 值>0.05）。
主要饮食模式与精神障碍之间无统计学显著关联。需要进一步进行设计良好的研究以发现任何显著关联。
