The effect of dietary carbohydrate quality on depression and anxiety levels in adolescents
The results indicate that adolescents with low carbohydrate quality and irregular meal patterns are at risk of depression and anxiety. Nutritional interventions aimed at addressing imbalances in the intake of macro and micronutrients and improving carbohydrate quality are thought to play an important role not only in preventing metabolic diseases but also in supporting psychological well-being.
