You are what you eat: the impact of nutrition on alcohol and drug use

Schroeder, Ryan D., Higgins, George E.·2017·Substance Use & Misuse

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Experimental research has shown that nutrition influences behavioral deviance. OBJECTIVES: The current project addresses the impact of nutrition on problem alcohol and drug use in a nationally representative sample of US adults. METHODS: The study relies on the daily dietary nutrition data and the substance use measures in the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. RESULTS: The findings generally show that macronutrients increase the odds of substance use and micronutrients decrease the odds of substance use, especially among females. In addition, nutrient imbalance is a particularly strong predictor of substance use for both males and females. Depression partially accounts for the relationship between dietary nutrition consumption and substance use. CONCLUSIONS: Nutrition represents a promising extension of the biosocial perspective in substance use disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
