Association between self-reported snoring and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease: A cross-sectional analysis of the NHANES 2017–2018

The independent and combined effects of dietary and sleep patterns on the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease: a population-based cohort study

“…30 Another cross-sectional study reported that snoring was independently and positively associated with the prevalence of MAFLD. 10 Considering that sleep behaviors may interact with each other ( e.g. , participants with insomnia could have shorter sleep duration and increased daytime sleepiness), an overall sleep pattern that considers the joint effects of different sleep behaviors may provide a more realistic representation of daily sleep habits.…”

“…A previous study found that the association between snoring and MAFLD was only present in individuals under the age of 50. 10 It is worth noting that MAFLD patients are typically older individuals, 2 and the age factor may impact the onset of MAFLD, potentially offsetting the positive effects of healthy dietary and sleep patterns. Moreover, our study also showed that individuals with lower levels of BMI experienced a greater reduction in the risk of MAFLD.…”

“…Food & Function was independently and positively associated with the prevalence of MAFLD. 10 Considering that sleep behaviors may interact with each other (e.g., participants with insomnia could have shorter sleep duration and increased daytime sleepiness), an overall sleep pattern that considers the joint effects of different sleep behaviors may provide a more realistic representation of daily sleep habits. To the best of our knowledge, only a previous cross-sectional study investigated the associations between multiple sleep behaviors and the prevalence of MAFLD in middle-aged and elderly Chinese.…”

“…For example, inadequate sleep duration has been linked to an increased risk of MAFLD, 9 while snoring is positively correlated with a higher prevalence and incidence of this disease. 10 Therefore, we propose that healthy sleep behavior can be utilized as a new strategy to manage MAFLD. Since sleep behaviors are often interconnected, an overall sleep pattern may offer a more informative approach for investigating the associations between sleep quality and diseases.…”

Threshold effects of the relationship between physical exercise and cognitive function in the short-sleep elder population

“…Smoking status was classified as never, former, and current. Moreover, we evaluated the individuals’ chronic diseases ( Wang et al, 2023 ). Participants were deemed to have diabetes mellitus (DM) if they met the following criteria: (1) A doctor has diagnosed you with diabetes; (2) HbA1c (%) > 6.5; (3) fasting glucose (mmol/l) ≥ 7.0; and (4) random blood glucose (mmol/l) ≥ 11.1; (5) 2-h OGTT Blood Glucose (mmol/l) ≥ 11.1; (6) use of insulin or diabetes drugs.…”
