Abstract

Purpose: A network analysis model was used to investigate the network structure linking food intake and mental health among middle school students in Shandong Province from a specific symptom perspective.

Methods: A total of 6179 middle school students aged 11-18 years in Shandong Province were included in the study. The modified Chinese Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) and Symptom Check List 90 (SCL-90) were used to estimate the status of food intake and mental health, respectively. Network analysis was performed to explore the potential associations between food intake and mental health.

Results: The symptom with the highest strength was "Frequency of eating eggs in the last week (FI-9)". "Obsessive compulsive (SCL-2)" was the symptom with the highest bridge strength. "Obsessive compulsive (SCL-2)" and "Frequency of eating eggs in the last week (FI-9)" were the most strongly related (weight=0.09).

Conclusion: From a network analysis perspective, this study identified complex pathways of correlations between specific food intake such as eggs, fruits and the appearance of abnormal psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depressive, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in middle school students. In the future, medical professionals may adopt appropriate interventions based on the centrality index and bridging centrality indicators identified in this study to effectively reduce the comorbidity of eating issues and poor mental health status in middle school students.

山东省中学生食物摄入与心理健康的网络分析

目的：采用网络分析模型，从特定症状的角度探讨山东省中学生食物摄入与心理健康的关系网络结构。方法：选取山东省6179名11 ~ 18岁的中学生为研究对象。采用改良的中国饮食质量问卷（DQQ）和症状检查表90 （SCL-90）分别评估食物摄入状况和心理健康状况。进行网络分析以探索食物摄入与心理健康之间的潜在联系。结果：症状强度最高的是“最近一周吃鸡蛋频率（FI-9）”。“强迫（SCL-2）”是桥强度最高的症状。“强迫症（SCL-2）”和“最近一周吃鸡蛋的频率（FI-9）”相关性最强（weight=0.09）。结论：从网络分析的角度，本研究发现了鸡蛋、水果等特定食物摄入与中学生焦虑、抑郁、强迫症等异常心理症状出现之间复杂的相关通路。在未来，医疗专业人员可以根据本研究确定的中心性指数和桥接中心性指标采取适当的干预措施，有效减少中学生饮食问题与心理健康状况不佳的合并症。
