据报告，无家可归者营养不良，但每个无家可归者社区面临的具体营养问题尚不清楚。这部分是由于营养摄入量往往与饮食参考值相比较，而不是与圈养人口相比较。此外，营养摄入、奖励介导的行为和精神疾病之间复杂的相互作用经常被忽视。本研究旨在比较无家可归者和被安置成年人的饮食摄入量，营养状况和心理健康。从阅读（英国）招募无家可归者（n 75）和匹配的居住成年人（n 75）。营养素摄入量采用欧洲癌症和营养前瞻性调查诺福克FFQ确定。患者健康问卷：躯体焦虑抑郁症状（PHQ-SADS）评估精神疾病的体征。使用封闭式问题和人体测量收集人口统计学、行为和生理信息。总的来说，无家可归的成年人的饮食摄入量较差，他们报告盐摄入量较高（80对64 g，P= 0.017），SFA（146对130%，P= 0.002）和酒精（53对19%，P
Malnutrition has been reported in the homeless, yet the specific nutritional issues faced by each homeless community are unclear. This is in part due to nutrient intake often being compared with dietary reference values as opposed to a comparative housed population. In addition, the complex interplay between nutrient intake, reward mediated behaviour and mental illness is frequently overlooked. This study aimed to compare the dietary intake, nutritional status and mental wellbeing of homeless and housed adults. Homeless (n 75) and matched housed (n 75) adults were recruited from Reading (UK). Nutrient intake was determined using the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Norfolk FFQ. The Patient Health Questionnaire: Somatic Anxiety Depressive Symptoms (PHQ-SADS) assessed for signs of mental illness. Demographic, behavioural and physiological information was collected using closed-ended questions and anthropometric measurements. Overall, dietary intake was poorer in homeless adults who reported higher intakes of salt (80 v. 64 g, P=0017), SFA (146 v. 130 %, P=0002) and alcohol (53 v. 19 %, P
