Abstract

Background

Vegetarianism versus non-vegetarianism is a perfect example of an opposing view of a healthy diet. Vegetarians consume plant-based foods whereas non-vegetarians consume animal-based foods.

Aims and objectives

This study aimed to evaluate and compare the impact of vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets on different health outcomes such as anthropometric measurements, sleep quality, and mindfulness in male individuals of ages 16–25 years.

Materials and methods

Sixty subjects were recruited from two different hostels. The total subjects were divided into two groups i.e., vegetarian group (n = 30) was fed a vegetarian diet and non-vegetarian group (n = 30) was fed a non-vegetarian diet for 3 months. The subjects were assessed for anthropometry, PSQI scoring, and mindfulness at baseline and after three months.

Results

On comparison of variables between the two groups, a significant difference has been observed. In the comparison of anthropometric data, there was a significant difference in BMI (p < 0.001) between the groups. PSQI scores showed a significant difference between the groups with mean global scores: group 1: 3.03 ± 2.5; group 2: 5.14 ± 2.23. Mindful eating among vegetarians was significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

A vegetarian diet had a positive impact on health outcomes compared to a non-vegetarian diet.

素食与非素食对男性个体健康结果的影响:一项比较研究

背景素食主义与非素食主义是健康饮食对立观点的一个完美例子。素食者食用植物性食物，而非素食者食用动物性食物。目的和目的本研究旨在评估和比较素食和非素食对16-25岁男性不同健康结果的影响，如人体测量、睡眠质量和正念。材料和方法从两个不同的宿舍招募了16名受试者。受试者被分为两组，即素食组（n=30）接受素食喂养，非素食组（n=30）接受非素食喂养3个月。受试者在基线和三个月后进行了人体测量、PSQI评分和正念评估。结果两组间变量比较有显著性差异。在人体测量数据的比较中，两组之间的BMI存在显著差异（p＜0.001）。PSQI评分在总体平均评分组之间存在显著差异：第1组：3.03±2.5；第2组：5.14±2.23。素食者的正念饮食显著（p＜0.001）。结论与非素食相比，素食对健康结果有积极影响。

期刊介绍： Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
