The relationship between vegetarianism and mental health is controversial. The aim of the present study is to examine the cross-sectional association between anxiety, depression, and vegetarianism in a French sample while controlling for potential confounders.
Self-reported questionnaire data were obtained from a large cross-sectional sample.
We included an online sample of 6578 participants aged 18-90, 70.8% females.
Analyses of variance with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), educational level, monthly income, and city size as covariates showed that vegetarians and non-vegetarians did not appear to have significantly different levels of anxiety or depression.
Our findings do not suggest a link between plant-based diet and anxiety or depression, either before or after adjustment for relevant factors.
素食主义与心理健康之间的关系存在争议。本研究旨在考察法国人群中焦虑、抑郁与素食主义之间的横断面关联,同时控制潜在的混杂因素。
本研究采用自报问卷调查数据,来自一个大型的横断面样本。
我们纳入了一个由 6578 名年龄在 18-90 岁之间的参与者组成的在线样本,其中 70.8%为女性。
以年龄、性别、体重指数(BMI)、教育水平、月收入和城市规模为协变量进行方差分析显示,素食者和非素食者的焦虑或抑郁水平似乎没有显著差异。
我们的研究结果表明,在调整相关因素之前或之后,植物性饮食与焦虑或抑郁之间没有联系。
