RESUMEN

Introducción:

Los antioxidantes vegetales tienen la capacidad de limpiar el exceso de radicales libres, inhibir la oxidación de los lípidos y reducir la formación de hidroperóxido, lo que podría proteger al organismo del estrés oxidativo.

Objetivo:

Identificar el consumo de frutas, verduras y su relación con la salud mental en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud.

Métodos:

Estudio transversal, correlacional, realizado en 510 estudiantes de universidades públicas y privadas de ciencias de la salud. Los datos fueron obtenidos a partir de dos cuestionarios uno de frecuencia de consumo de 23 frutas y 17 verduras y otro fue para medir el nivel de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Se realizó la prueba estadística Chi-cuadrado.

Resultados:

El 60,4% y el 6,9% presentó un nivel alto y leve de depresión, ansiedad y estrés respectivamente, por otro lado, el sexo femenino presenta mayor depresión, ansiedad y estrés que los varones (p=0,005). Existe asociación entre la salud mental con el consumo de frutas, como la cocona (p=0,029), los arándanos (p=0,005), sandía (p=0,016) y el plátano (p=0,009), así mismo no se encontró relación con el consumo de verduras (p>0,05).

Conclusión:

Existe un bajo consumo de frutas y verduras en los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud, sin embargo, las frutas que disminuyen el nivel de depresión, ansiedad y estrés fueron el arándano, cocona, sandía y plátano. Es necesario mejorar e implementar estrategias de difusión para el consumo de frutas y verduras lo cual conlleva a mejorar la salud mental y física.(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Plant antioxidants have the ability to scav-enge excess free radicals, inhibit lipid oxidation and reducehydroperoxide formation, which could protect the body fromoxidative stress.

Objective:

To identify the consumption of fruits, vegeta-bles and their relationship with mental health in health sci-ence students.

Methods:

Cross-sectional, correlational study, carried out on510 students from public and private universities of health sci-ences. The age of the students was 18 to 35 years old, 73.7%were women and 26.3% men. The questionnaire on the fre-quency of consumption of fruits and vegetables was validated by expert judgment that includes 23 fruits and 17 vegetablesand to measure the level of mental health the questionnaireconsists of 21 items that consider depression, anxiety and stresswhich was validated by Colchado et al. The association of thevariables was analyzed through the Chi-square statistical test.

Results:

60.4% and 6.9% presented a high and mild levelof depression, anxiety and stress respectively. Females pres-ent greater depression, anxiety and stress than males(p=0.005). There is an association between mental healthand the consumption of cocona (p=0.029), blueberries(p=0.005), watermelon (p=0.016) and banana (p=0.009). Noassociation was found with vegetable consumption (p>0.05).

Conclusion:

There is a low consumption of fruits and veg-etables in Health Sciences students, however, those who ob-tained a mild level of depression consumed more fruits suchas blueberry, coconut, watermelon and banana. It is neces-sary to implement dissemination strategies for the daily con-sumption of fruits and vegetables which leads to improve ormaintain physical and mental health.(AU)
