AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how walking activity and diet quality affect insomnia in adults from 2014 to 2015.
- Out of 454 participants, 26.8% experienced insomnia, with women showing higher rates than men.
- Results indicated that increased physical activity, specifically more steps and energy expended walking, may reduce insomnia, while no link was found between dietary quality and insomnia.
Article Abstract
Introduction And Objectives: Certain lifestyle habits may influence aspects of sleep quality, such as insomnia. The main objective of the present study was to analyze the relationship of the presence of insomnia, with walking physical activity and diet quality in an adult population.
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed (subanalysis of the TRIPLE A study) between January of 2014 to June of 2015. A total of 454 subjects were selected by consecutive sampling. Insomnia was evaluated with the Atenas scale, diet quality using the diet quality index (DQI) questionnaire, and physical activity using pedometers for seven days, evaluating the total number of steps, aerobic steps, and energy expended.
Results: Of all patients, 26.8% presented with insomnia (33.8% in women and 17.5% in men). In a adjusted model, the mean differences of total steps/day, aerobic steps/day, and kilocalories/day spent in performing physical activity, between no insomnia group and insomnia group were: 1022.5 (95% CI: 177.9-1867.0), 743.9 (95% CI: 68.3-1419.4) and 39.8 (95% CI: 5.7-73.9), respectively. We did not find an association between the diet quality index (DQI) and insomnia.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that completing daily a greater total number of steps, aerobic steps, and energy expended by walking, could be correlated with less insomnia, independent of age, sex, and other confounding variables. However, no relationship was observed between diet quality and insomnia.

Objective: Identify the most important sociodemographic and behavioral factors related to the diet of low-income adults with hypertension in order to guide the development of a community health worker (CHW) healthy eating intervention for low-income populations with hypertension.
Design: In this cross-sectional analysis, dietary recalls were used to assess Healthy Eating Index-2020 (HEI-2020) total (range: 0 to 100 [best diet quality]) and component scores and sodium intake. Self-reported sociodemographic and behavioral data were entered into a Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression model to determine the relative importance of factors related to diet quality.
Raisins are so popular in the human diet as a nutritional and sweet snack. The quality of this foodstuff depends on drying conditions. To minimize ochratoxin A (OTA) content and yeast and mold content (YMC) in raisins with favorable physicochemical and sensory properties, the response surface methodology (RSM) and the face-centered central composite design (FCCD) were utilized.

This study aimed to assess quercetin's protective effects against fructose-induced mouse hepatic steatosis. Thirty-two male C57BL/6J mice were randomly allocated into four groups: control, high fructose diet (HFrD), HFrD supplemented with low-dose quercetin (HFrD+LQ), and HFrD supplemented with high-dose quercetin (HFrD+HQ).

This systematic review aimed to explore the efficacy of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in managing hypertension during pregnancy. It analyzed high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs), focusing on outcomes related to maternal and fetal health. The findings demonstrated that antihypertensive medications, particularly labetalol and nifedipine, effectively reduced the risks of severe preeclampsia (PE), preterm birth, and other complications.
