A literature-based gut microbiota dietary index and its association with obstructive sleep apnea risk: a population-based, cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited research has explored the link between the Literature-Based Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (LBDI-GM) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This study aims to examine the relationship between these two conditions.

Methods

This cross-sectional analysis utilized data from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) served as the independent variable, evaluated through self-reported questionnaires. The dependent variable was the novel literature-Based Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota, which quantified dietary patterns linked to intestinal microbiome characteristics. Weighted multivariable logistic regression modeling explored associations between LBDI-GM and OSA. Supplementary subgroup and interaction
