Abstract

Objective: Food-restricted alcohol consumption (FRAC) is a growing concern among college students. We investigated demographic and lifestyle characteristics and psychiatric symptoms associated with FRAC. Participants: College students (n = 561) at a large southeastern university in the United States. Methods: Participants completed online self-reported questionnaires assessing past-year FRAC, demographic and lifestyle characteristics, and psychiatric symptoms. Results: The past-year prevalence of FRAC was 23.89%. In the bivariate analyses, students engaging in FRAC had higher mean scores of multiple psychiatric symptoms, reported more harmful or hazardous drinking and suicidality, and were more likely to report a history of an eating disorder than their peers without FRAC. In a hierarchical regression model, binge eating, cognitive restraint, self-reported history of an eating disorder, and harmful or hazardous drinking were significantly associated with FRAC (ps < 0.05) after other psychiatric symptoms were included in the model. Conclusion: Our findings stress the importance of heightened awareness of FRAC in college.

目的：限食饮酒（FRAC）越来越受到大学生的关注。我们调查了与 FRAC 相关的人口统计和生活方式特征以及精神症状。参与者：美国东南部一所大型大学的大学生（ n = 561）。方法：参与者完成在线自我报告问卷，评估过去一年的 FRAC、人口和生活方式特征以及精神症状。结果：过去一年FRAC患病率为23.89%。在双变量分析中，与未参加 FRAC 的同龄人相比，参加 FRAC 的学生的多种精神症状平均分较高，报告有更多有害或危险的饮酒和自杀倾向，并且更有可能报告有饮食失调史。在分层回归模型中，在模型中纳入其他精神症状后，暴食、认知克制、自我报告的饮食失调史以及有害或有害饮酒与 FRAC 显着相关（ p s < 0.05）。结论：我们的研究结果强调了在大学中提高 FRAC 意识的重要性。
