Overall diet quality and proinflammatory diet in relation to risk of obstructive sleep apnea in 3 prospective US cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammation-related mechanisms may be important in the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and diet plays a crucial role in modulating inflammation. Current epidemiologic evidence for the associations between dietary patterns and OSA risk is limited to cross-sectional studies.

Objectives

We investigated prospectively the associations of overall diet quality and proinflammatory diet with OSA risk.

Methods

We followed 145,801 participants in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (2002-2012), NHS II (1995-2013), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1996-2012). Alternative Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI) and Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern (EDIP) scores were calculated based on validated FFQs administered every 4 y. Cox models were used to esti
