The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between nutritional habits, lifestyle, anxiety, and coping strategies.
Anxiety is an underestimated and often undiagnosed subclinical disorder that burdens the general public of modern societies and increases illness suscentibility.
The study group consisted of 693 individuals living in Peloponnese, Greece. A standardized questionnaire that consists of the dietary habits and lifestyle questionnaire, the trait Anxiety STAI-X-2 questionnaire and the brief-COPE questionnaire, was used. Principal components analysis identified the factors from the questionnaires, and stepwise multivariate regression analysis investigated their relationships.
Weekly consumption of fruits, tomatoes, salads and lettuce, together with Εmotional/Ιnstrumental support, Denial/Behavioural disengagement, substance use and self-blame, was the most important predictors of anxiety scores. Positive reframing/Humour and Acceptance/Planning are also associated with the Positive STAI factor and decreased anxiety scores.
Healthy nutritional habits, comprised of consumption of salads and fruits, together with adaptive coping strategies, such as Positive reframing/Humour and Active problem solving, may provide the most profound improvement in the anxiety levels of a healthy population in Peloponnese, Greece.
本研究旨在调查营养习惯、生活方式、焦虑和应对策略之间的关系。
焦虑是一种被低估且常未被诊断的亚临床疾病，给现代社会的普通大众带来负担，并增加患病易感性。
研究组由693名居住在希腊伯罗奔尼撒半岛的个体组成。使用了一份标准化问卷，该问卷包括饮食习惯和生活方式问卷、特质焦虑STAI-X-2问卷和简易应对方式问卷。主成分分析确定了问卷中的因素，逐步多元回归分析研究了它们之间的关系。
每周食用水果、西红柿、沙拉和生菜，以及情感/工具性支持、否认/行为脱离、物质使用和自责，是焦虑得分最重要的预测因素。积极重新评价/幽默和接受/计划也与STAI积极因子相关，并降低焦虑得分。
由食用沙拉和水果构成的健康营养习惯，以及适应性应对策略，如积极重新评价/幽默和积极解决问题，可能会使希腊伯罗奔尼撒半岛健康人群的焦虑水平得到最显著的改善。
