摘要
美国的非洲移民(AI)人口在不断增长,但他们在健康和营养研究中的代表性却不足。这些人在寻找适合其文化的食物和驾驭美国食品环境(FE)方面遇到困难,他们的食品极不安全(FI),而且很容易患精神疾病。本综述研究了当前有关人工智能食品与心理健康结果和联系的证据,并确定了文献中的空白和未来的研究机会。我们使用 Google Scholar、PubMed、CINAHL、MEDLINE 和 SCOPUS 进行了文献检索。共发现 21 项研究,报告了参与者的高 FI 率(37%-85%)、饮食质量差和精神障碍风险增加。FE面临的挑战、交通不便、获得民族食品的机会有限、社会经济地位低以及语言障碍与FI和饮食质量差有关。同样,歧视、药物使用和移民身份也与抑郁和焦虑有关。然而,目前还缺乏对人工智能食物体验与心理健康之间联系的研究。AIs 患 FI、饮食质量差和精神障碍的风险较高。需要开展针对特定种族的研究,以了解他们的饮食与心理健康之间的联系,从而减少营养和心理健康方面的差异。
Food Related Challenges and Mental Health Among U.S. African Migrants: A Narrative Review.
The United States' (US) African immigrant (AI) population is growing, yet they are underrepresented in health and nutrition research. This population experiences difficulties finding culturally appropriate foods and navigating the US food environment (FE), is highly food insecure (FI), and vulnerable to mental disorders. This review examined the current evidence for AIs' food and mental health outcomes and connections; and identified gaps in the literature and future research opportunities. A literature search was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS. Twenty-one studies were identified, reporting high (37-85%) FI rates, poor diet quality, and increased risk of mental disorders among participants. Challenges in the FE, lack of transportation, limited access to ethnic foods, low SES, and language barriers were associated with FI and poor diet quality. Similarly, discrimination, substance use, and immigration status were associated with depression and anxiety. However, studies examining the connection between AI's food experience and mental health are lacking. AIs are at a higher risk for FI, poor diet quality, and mental disorders. Ethnic-specific research to understand the connection between their food and mental health is needed to reduce nutrition and mental health disparities.
