Abstract
Mental health disparities exist between rural and metro areas of the United States. Differences in dietary intake may contribute to these disparities. We examined differences in dietary intake and mental health between those 50 years and older (n = 637) living in rural counties to those living in metro counties in North Dakota and the relationship between dietary intake to days with depression or anxiety. A survey was conducted throughout North Dakota. Items were modified from other surveys, such as the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System questionnaires and the National Health Interview Survey Cancer Control Supplement Dietary Screener Questionnaire. Comparing medians, individuals more likely to be unable to perform normal daily activities due to mental health (p = 0.009) resided in rural areas instead of metro areas. Those living rurally also ate more processed meats (p = 0.005), while trending toward less lean protein intake (p = 0.056). Multinomial regression analyses controlling for covariates revealed that lean protein intake and fruit intake were inversely associated with days with depression and anxiety (all p p = 0.005). Clinicians working with older adults residing in rural areas should emphasize substituting lean proteins for processed meats.
