Maternal diet is essential for the mother's and infant's health. Our Study aimed to evaluate the relationship between breastfeeding mothers' psychological distress and the Mediterranean diet and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet.
The data were collected in a cross-sectional survey conducted by the authors in 2021. Psychological parameters were assessed in 350 breastfeeding mothers using the Quality of Life (QL) Questionnaire, Depression Scale, Anxiety Questionnaire, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) assessed adherence to the MIND diet.
Mothers in the highest tertile of the MIND diet had significantly lower maternal sleep disturbance scores (3.71 ± 3.61 vs. 5.28 ± 3.89; P < 0.001), lower anxiety scores (30.86 ± 7.49 vs. 32.89 ± 7.90; P-value = 0.01) and better maternal mental health (21.58 ± 3.68 vs. 20.76 ± 3.15) compared to those in the lowest tertile. After controlling for potential confounders, adherence to the MIND pattern was associated with less maternal sleep disturbance (β = 0.89; 95%CI: 0.82-0.96).
for practice. Adherence to the MIND diet is potentially associated with less sleep disturbance in breastfeeding mothers.
母亲的饮食对母亲和婴儿的健康至关重要。我们的研究旨在评估母乳喂养母亲的心理困扰与地中海饮食以及用于延缓神经退行性变的高血压防治饮食模式（MIND饮食）之间的关系。
数据收集于作者在2021年进行的一项横断面调查。使用生活质量（QL）问卷、抑郁量表、焦虑问卷和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）对350名母乳喂养母亲的心理参数进行评估。通过食物频率问卷（FFQ）评估对MIND饮食的依从性。
与处于最低三分位数的母亲相比，处于MIND饮食最高三分位数的母亲的睡眠障碍得分显著更低（3.71±3.61对5.28±3.89；P<0.001），焦虑得分更低（30.86±7.49对32.89±7.90；P值=0.01），且母亲心理健康状况更好（21.58±3.68对20.76±3.15）。在控制潜在混杂因素后，对MIND模式的依从性与较少的母亲睡眠障碍相关（β=0.89；95%CI：0.82 - 0.96）。
在实践中，坚持MIND饮食可能与母乳喂养母亲较少的睡眠障碍相关。
