The relationship between dietary patterns and aggressive behavior in adolescent girls: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are few studies about the relationship between dietary patterns and aggression. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the main dietary patterns and aggression scores among adolescent girls in Iran.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 670 adolescent girls. The 168-item self-administered Semi-quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to evaluate dietary intake and to identify major dietary patterns, while factor analysis was applied. Aggression was evaluated by the validated Persian version of the Buss-Perry questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed by crude and adjusted models.

Results

Three main dietary patterns including healthy, fast food, and Western were identified. A significant positive association was found between more adherence to Western dietary pattern and the presence of a high aggression score (OR: 2.00; 95% CI: 1.32-3.05, p-_{trend =} .001); even after adjustment for potential confounders, these findings were significant.

Conclusion

Although Western dietary patterns were associated with increased aggression risk, there was no significant relationship between healthy and fast food dietary patterns and the prevalence of a high aggression score. Further studies, particularly longitudinal intervention studies, are required to clarify this relationship.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a marked increase in the intake of foods associated with higher risks for hypertension and obesity in Indonesia. However, studies assessing the relationship between dietary patterns and health outcomes are few.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to characterize dietary patterns and investigate their relationship with hypertension and obesity in Indonesia.MethodsExploratory factor analysis was used to derive dietary patterns from a brief food scanner filled by 31,160 respondents aged 15 y and older in the Indonesian Family Life Survey wave 5 (IFLS 5). Age- and gender-specific quintiles of consumption were created for each pattern and the association between quintiles of each dietary pattern and the odds for hypertension and obesity were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analyses.ResultsTwo dietary patterns were identified: a modern dietary pattern characterized by fast foods, soft drinks, sweet snacks, and salty snacks and a traditional pattern characterized by fish, vegetables, and fruits. Younger age and being male were significantly correlated with higher consumption of the modern pattern (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.03, respectively). Analyses showed no association between hypertension and the modern pattern. However, the traditional pattern revealed lower odds for hypertension among those in the highest quintile compared with the lowest quintile (OR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.95; P-trend < 0.05). Individuals in the highest quintile of each dietary pattern had higher odds of obesity compared with those in the lowest quintile (modern pattern-OR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.49; P-trend < 0.00; traditional pattern-OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.42; P-trend < 0.01).ConclusionsMore studies using gold-standard measures of dietary intake are needed to better understand the relationship between the modern dietary pattern and hypertension in Indonesia. Also, both modern and traditional dietary patterns in Indonesia may be energy dense, leading to higher risk for obesity.
