Summary
This 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis examined the epidemiology of mental health disorders among university undergraduate students, synthesising prevalence estimates and risk factors from quantitative research. The work falls substantially outside Vitagri's core remit, focusing on clinical mental health epidemiology in an educational setting rather than on farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, or food-based nutritional interventions.
Regional applicability
This study addresses university mental health epidemiology rather than food systems or agricultural practice, and therefore has limited direct application to United Kingdom farming, soil health, or food-based nutrition research priorities within Vitagri's scope.
Key measures
Prevalence rates of mental health disorders; identified risk factors associated with poor mental health outcomes in university populations
Outcomes reported
This systematic review synthesised prevalence estimates and identified risk factors for mental health disorders (such as depression, anxiety, and stress) among university undergraduate students across quantitative research studies.
