Recent years have witnessed a gradual increase in the number of female methamphetamine users. Meanwhile, female methamphetamine users are more likely to have psychological problems than male methamphetamine users. The association between diet and psychological problems have been found among non-methamphetamine user. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between dietary intake frequency and psychological problems in female methamphetamine users.
A total of 109 female methamphetamine users, collected from a Compulsory Isolated Drug Rehabilitation Centre in northern China, participated in the study. All participants completed the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) questionnaire to assess psychological status. The relation of dietary intake frequency with the SCL-90 score was tested in partial correlation analysis. Multivariable regression models were used to calculate odds ratios to evaluate the association of dietary intake frequency with psychological problems.
Of the current female methamphetamine population, 33 participants were diagnosed with psychological problems using SCL-90. In the terms of dietary intake frequency, the frequency of nut intake in the psychiatric symptom group was significantly lower than that in the asymptomatic group. However, there was no difference in the frequency of other food intakes between the two groups. The frequency of nut intake was negatively correlated with the total score of SCL-90 and 8 different symptom clusters of psychopathologies on SCL-90. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the increased frequency of nut intake was associated with a lower risk of psychological problems.
In the female methamphetamine population, increasing the frequency of nut intake may reduce the risk of psychological problems for female methamphetamine users.
近年来，女性甲基苯丙胺使用者的数量逐渐增加。与此同时，女性甲基苯丙胺使用者比男性甲基苯丙胺使用者更易出现心理问题。在非甲基苯丙胺使用者中已发现饮食与心理问题之间存在关联。本研究旨在调查女性甲基苯丙胺使用者的饮食摄入频率与心理问题之间的关系。
从中国北方一家强制隔离戒毒所收集了109名女性甲基苯丙胺使用者参与本研究。所有参与者均完成症状自评量表90（SCL - 90）问卷以评估心理状态。在偏相关分析中测试饮食摄入频率与SCL - 90评分的关系。使用多变量回归模型计算比值比，以评估饮食摄入频率与心理问题的关联。
在当前女性甲基苯丙胺使用者群体中，33名参与者使用SCL - 90被诊断为有心理问题。在饮食摄入频率方面，精神症状组的坚果摄入频率显著低于无症状组。然而，两组之间其他食物的摄入频率没有差异。坚果摄入频率与SCL - 90总分及SCL - 90上8个不同精神病理症状簇呈负相关。逻辑回归分析表明，坚果摄入频率增加与心理问题风险降低有关。
在女性甲基苯丙胺使用者群体中，增加坚果摄入频率可能会降低女性甲基苯丙胺使用者出现心理问题的风险。
