Junk food consumption and psychological distress in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The odds of experiencing psychological distress, including depression, stress, anxiety, unhappiness, and sleep dissatisfaction, may be stacked against children and adolescents fond of consuming junk foods.
This meta-analysis assessed if junk food consumption is tied to the occurrence of psychological distress in children and adolescents. Data from 17 scientific publications were considered eligible for this meta-analysis.
Researchers noticed high rates of depression, stress, anxiety, unhappiness, and sleep dissatisfaction in children and adolescents who ate junk foods frequently. Based on the data from this study, the love for junk foods may trigger the onset of psychological distress in children and adolescents.
