Association between maternal fermented food consumption and child sleep duration at the age of 3 years: the Japan Environment and Children's Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Using cohort data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), we previously reported that the risk of sleep deprivation in 1-year-old children was reduced with a higher maternal intake of fermented foods, particularly miso. The present study, which evaluates children from the same cohort at 3 years of age, is a continuation of that work.

Methods

After applying exclusion criteria to 104,062 records in the JECS dataset, we evaluated 64,200 mother-child pairs in which the child was 3 years old. We examined the association of the dietary intake of fermented foods during pregnancy with child sleep duration < 10 h at the age of 3 years.

Results

Multivariable logistic regression analysis with the lowest quartile used as a reference revealed adjusted od
