Objective
Associate behaviors and eating habits of patients with mental disorders and related factors that may affect their quality of life.
Methods
Adult male and female patients, diagnosed with mental disorders, answered a questionnaire about personal and sociodemographic data, with disease-related questions, history of body weight, eating habits and behavior (dietary restrictions, emotional eating, lack of control over food, and intense desire to eat). Pearson’s Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact Tests were performed for categorical variables, and simple and multiple logistic regression was applied for significant variables (p<0.10). The level of significance was set at 5%.
Results
A total of 120 individuals participated in the study; 63.3% of them were males. There was a 44.2% risk of developing Dietary Restrictions, 31.7% for Emotional Eating, 25.8% for Intense Desire to Eat and 24.2% for Uncontrolled Eating. Overweight decreased the likelihood of developing Intense Desire to Eat (ACR=0.289), as well as the habit of snacking (ACR=0.362). It also decreased the likelihood of developing Emotional Eating. Factors that contributed to increasing the likelihood were: not taking any action for weight loss (ACR=3.628), and participation in meal preparation (ARCa=2.264), for Emotional Eating and Food Restriction, respectively.
Conclusion
The study variables for eating behavior are related to psychiatric treatment, and the characteristics of the patients’ eating habits negatively affect the likelihood of developing certain risky eating behaviors with a high potential to negatively affect these patients’ health and quality of life.
