Associations between Dietary total antioxidant capacity and insomnia in Adolescent Girls

Introduction and objective: Depression, physical problems, academic failure, reduce productivity and quality of life can be caused by insomnia. Many risk factors affect this disorder. dietary factor is one of them that can amplify or improve insomnia. this study investigates relationship between DTAC and prevalence of insomnia in adolescent girls.Methods: A total of ۷۳۳ Iranian adolescent girls aged ۱۲–۱۸ years were recruited into this cross-sectional study. Dietary intake and insomnia severity score were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and a validated Iranian version of the Insomnia Severity Index questionnaire was used to assess sleep insomnia, respectively. To estimate the DTAC, the oxygen radical absorbance capacity method was used for selected foods. To explore the associations between DTAC and insomnia, logistic regression was applied using crude and adjusted models.Result: Individuals in the greatest adherence to high DTAC had more intakes of whole grains, fruits, beans, low fat dairy products , vitamin C, folate, beta carotene, lutein, thiamine, Riboflavin and niacin and lower consumption of Refined grains Compared to other quartiles. No significant association was seen between DTAC and odds of insomnia among adolescent girls in the crude (OR=۱.۱۴; ۹۵%CI=۰.۶۴_۲.۰۳, P for trend= ۰.۶۸) or adjusted model (OR=۰.۹۴; CI=۰.۴۲_۲.۰۶, P for trend=۰.۷۸)conclusions: there was no association between the DTAC and the prevalence of insomnia, Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the results of this study.
