| Objective:The main purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between dietary addiction and TCM constitution in patients with depression,followed by the correlation between dietary addiction and total score of depression(HAMD),five factors classified by HAMD scale and degree of anxiety,as well as the relationship between depression,anxiety and TCM constitution.Methods:217 patients with depression who signed informed consent and met the inclusion criteria were collected to summarize their dietary preference and TCM constitution through dietary preference questionnaire,TCM constitution classification and judgment.at the same time,Hamilton Depression scale and Hamilton anxiety scale were used to evaluate the patients’ age,sex,education,past diseases and so on.Chi-square test or nonparametric test was used to analyze the correlation between physique type and other quantitative data such as HAMD total score and 5 factors.Results:1.There was a statistical difference in the distribution of TCM constitution between patients with depression with sweet diet and those without dietary preference(P<0.05),and 36.9%of patients with depression had sweet diet,while those with sweet diet mainly had qi depression,accounting for 40%of 2%.There was a correlation between gender and the degree of depression and anxiety(P<0.05).Depression patients with depression accounted for 27.6%of men and 72.4%of women,and most of the female patients were qi depression quality.So The probability of depression and anxiety in women was higher than that in men.Accounting for 44.6%.There were significant differences in the distribution of anxiety and depression between sweet diet and salty diet and no dietary preference(P<0.05).The correlation between different TCM constitution types and the total score of HAMD and five factors:peace quality was the protective factor,biased constitution was positively correlated with the degree of depression,anxiety or somatization factor,cognitive factor,weight factor,retardation factor and sleep factor of Hamilton Depression scale.Biased constitution was the susceptible factor of depression,and the correlation between qi depression quality and HAMD total score was the highest(r=0.341).Conclusion:sweet diet may be a risk factor for depression,and qi depression is the main physical type of depressive patients with sweet diet.We can reduce the symptoms of depression or prevent the recurrence of depression by changing the eating habits and improving the physique,so as to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of depression. |
