Consumption of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables is emerging as a recommendation for the prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety. This review sought to examine literature investigating the role of kiwifruit in supporting psychological well-being in adult populations through increased vitamin C intake. The literature search using CINAHL, Embase and PubMed databases was restricted to English-language articles published from 2005 through July 2022. Inclusion criteria were randomized trials that delivered kiwifruit interventions to adult populations assessing psychological well-being. Studies were assessed for bias using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool for randomized controlled trials. The literature search identified two eligible trials involving 202 participants that delivered gold kiwifruit interventions and evaluated aspects of psychological well-being (e.g., mood disturbance, vitality, vigour, depression). Daily consumption of two gold kiwifruit was associated with significant reductions in mood disturbance and fatigue, and significant increases in well-being and vigour. Larger effects were observed in participants with higher baseline mood disturbance. Additional research involving a broader range of cohorts and isolating the effects of other micronutrients within gold kiwifruit implicated in the pathophysiology of depression is warranted. Overall, preliminary evidence suggests that daily consumption of two gold kiwifruit might improve psychological well-being in adult populations.
摄入富含维生素的水果和蔬菜正逐渐成为预防和治疗抑郁和焦虑的建议。本综述旨在通过增加维生素 C 的摄入来研究猕猴桃在支持成年人群体心理健康方面的作用，为此检索了 CINAHL、Embase 和 PubMed 数据库中的英文文献，检索时间限定为 2005 年至 2022 年 7 月。纳入标准为向成年人群体提供猕猴桃干预措施以评估心理健康的随机试验。使用 Joanna Briggs 研究所的随机对照试验批判性评价工具评估了研究的偏倚。文献检索确定了两项符合条件的试验，涉及 202 名参与者，他们接受了金猕猴桃干预措施，并评估了心理健康的各个方面（例如，情绪困扰、活力、活力、抑郁）。每天食用两个金猕猴桃与情绪困扰和疲劳的显著减少以及幸福感和活力的显著增加有关。在基线情绪困扰较高的参与者中观察到了更大的效果。需要进行更多涉及更广泛队列的研究，并分离金猕猴桃中与抑郁病理生理学相关的其他微量营养素的影响。总的来说，初步证据表明，每天食用两个金猕猴桃可能会改善成年人群体的心理健康。
