Dietary Interventions for Sleep Health: Multi-Population and Mendelian Randomization Evidence on Sleep Outcomes and Disorders.

ABSTRACT: Sleep disorders represent major public health concerns with significant health consequences. While diet shows promise as a modifiable intervention, the differential effects of established dietary patterns on specific sleep phenotypes and the contributions of specific food groups remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated how three established dietary patterns relate to distinct sleep outcomes, and further explored the contributions of specific food components. We combined four decades of data and analyzed 9040 US adults from NHANES with sampling weights. Five sleep outcomes were examined in relation to dietary pattern adherence, quantified through averaged 24-h recall data from two consecutive days: including self-reported sleep duration, sufficiency, OSA, daytime sleepiness, and
