A two-class, one-factor structure was identified from study participants in terms of mental health problems profile based on the factor mixture model. Two identified classes were labelled as \u2018low mental health problems\u2019 (2683 manufacturing employees, 91.2%) and \u2018high mental health problems\u2019 (259 individuals, 8.8%). After adjusting for the impact of potential confounders, manufacturing employees in the highest tertile of healthy dietary pattern had lower odds of being in the high mental health problems profile class (OR=0.67, 95%\u2009CI 0.49 to 0.92). In contrast, greater adherence to Western and traditional dietary patterns was associated with increased odds of being in the high mental health problems class (OR=1.66, 95%\u2009CI: 1.18 to 2.35 and OR=1.52, 95% CI :1.10 to 2.11, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our study provided informative pathways on the association of dietary patterns and mental health among manufacturing employees.
