Food Intake and Mental Health Among Middle School Students in Shandong Province: A Network Analysis
From a network analysis perspective, this study identified complex pathways of correlations between specific food intake such as eggs, fruits and the appearance of abnormal psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depressive, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in middle school students. In the future, medical professionals may adopt appropriate interventions based on the centrality index and bridging centrality indicators identified in this study to effectively reduce the comorbidity of eating issues and poor mental health status in middle school students.
