Diet Quality and Sleep Characteristics in Midlife: The Bogalusa Heart Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep and diet contribute to cardiometabolic disease, but evidence is sparse for the association between these behaviors. This study analyzed the cross-sectional relationship between diet quality and multiple sleep outcomes in the Bogalusa Heart Study (BHS).

Methods

Diet and sleep characteristics, including insomnia and sleep apnea symptoms, were measured with validated questionnaires.

Models were adjusted for body mass index (BMI), multi-level socioeconomic factors, physical activity, depressive symptoms, and other potential confounders.

Results

In 824 participants, higher di
