摘要：

The purpose of the study was to determine whether there was a relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) and levels of anxiety, depression, and overall mental well-being. The Mediterranean diet is a popular, healthy diet, aimed to promote wellness and reduce chronic illness. In order to determine the relationship between MD and mental well-being, 100 participants consented to complete an online survey to analyze their adherence to MD, along with levels of anxiety and depression. The validated questionnaires of the 14-item Questionnaire of Mediterranean diet Adherence, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) assessments were used to analyze each participant. To evaluate the results of the study, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis was used to identify relationships between MD, depression, and anxiety. There was a significant negative correlation, indicating that MD adherence is associated with reduced depression and anxiety.
