Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the current status of milk tea consumption and its association with psychological distress among college students, so as to provide theoretial support for promoting the mental health of college students. Methods From September to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 15 440 college students aged 17-24 from seven universities in Shanghai, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Shanxi. A self-designed questionnaire and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to assess milk tea consumption and psychological distress, respectively. The Mantel-Haenszel test was employed to analyze the trend of psychological distress at different levels of milk tea consumption. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between milk tea consumption and psychological distress, and the restricted cubic spline method was applied to explore the nonlinear relationship between milk tea consumption and symptoms of psychological distress. Results The detection rate of psychological distress among college students was 59.6%. Univariate analysis indicated a significant trend association between milk tea consumption frequency (χ_trend²=42.33) and milk tea intake level (χ_trend²=5.17) with psychological distress (P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression models showed a positive association between different levels of milk tea consumption frequency and psychological distress [1-3 times (mild to moderate distress, OR=1.20, 1.41), 4-5 times (mild to severe distress, OR=2.80, 5.44, 4.12), and ≥6 times (severe distress, OR=8.04); and milk tea intake level: 1-1 500 mL (severe distress, OR=1.35), >1 500- < 3 000 mL (mild to moderate distress, OR=1.21, 1.35), ≥3 000 mL (mild to severe distress, OR=1.33, 1.71, 1.29)] (P < 0.05). The restricted cubic spline model showed a nonlinear association between milk tea intake and the risk of psychological distress (F=107.34, P_non-linear < 0.01, P_overall < 0.01). Conclusions High-frequency and high-volume milk tea consumption are associated with an increased risk of psychological distress among college students. Reducing the consumption behavior of college students' milk tea is helpful to improve mental health.
