Diet quality in young adulthood and sleep at midlife: a prospective analysis in the Bogalusa Heart Study.

Diet and sleep are both established risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases. Prior evidence suggests a potential link between these behaviors, though longitudinal evidence for how diet associates with sleep is scarce.
