Abstract

BACKGROUND: In spite of an obvious association between diet and mental health, there is only few report regarding the association between diet and psychosomatic complaints. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of the Mediterranean-DASH diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay (MIND) diet with psychosomatic complaints profile in comparison with the Mediterranean diet (aMED). METHODS: In this cross-sectional study on 2818 Isfahanian adults, a validated dish-based food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intakes. Psychosomatic complaints profile was evaluated through a self-administered Persian validated questionnaire by using exploratory factor analysis. RESULTS: After controlling for potential confounders, individuals in the highest quintile of the MIND diet had lower risk for experiencing psychological (odds ratio (OR) =0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.42, 0.86; P trend<0.0001), and pharyngeal-respiratory (OR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.79; P=0.002). The association for neuro-skeletal complaints was marginally significant (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.43, 1.03; P=0.093). The aMED diet tended to lower gastrointestinal complaints (OR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.46, 1.01; P=0.062). CONCLUSION: The MIND diet was inversely associated with different psychosomatic complaints risk, but no evidence of such an association for the MED diet was observed. © 2020 - IOS Press and the authors.
