Chile has a serious public health problem due to the high prevalence of both unhealthy dietary patterns and mental illnesses. Given that dietary quality is positively associated with the quality of mental health, it is urgent that healthy dietary patterns be promoted among Chileans. The WHO recommends the use of mass media for the dissemination of knowledge about mental health. Since health news affect people's attitudes and health behaviors, this study analyzed the coverage by three Chilean online newspapers with the largest readership regarding the relation between diet and mental health in 2016. A previously constructed corpus of 2551 news items about food was analyzed quantitatively. The results show that the relevance of the topic diet and mental health was low in all three newspapers. The most frequent type of information was on "foods" and not "nutrients" that "benefit"-not that "damage"-mental health. The quality of the news was poor as a narrow range of sources was found. An individual responsibility frame predominated in the information to the detriment of a public health frame.
智利存在严重的公共卫生问题，其不健康的饮食模式和精神疾病的发病率都很高。鉴于饮食质量与心理健康的质量呈正相关，因此迫切需要在智利人中间推广健康的饮食模式。世界卫生组织建议利用大众媒体传播有关心理健康的知识。由于健康新闻会影响人们的态度和健康行为，因此本研究分析了 2016 年三家智利最受欢迎的在线报纸对饮食与心理健康之间关系的报道。对先前构建的 2551 篇有关食品的新闻报道进行了定量分析。结果表明，在所有三份报纸中，该主题饮食与心理健康的相关性都较低。最常见的信息类型是关于“食物”而不是“营养物质”，是“有益于”而不是“损害”心理健康的营养物质。新闻质量较差，因为发现了来源范围狭窄的情况。信息以个人责任框架为主，而不是以公共卫生框架为主。
