Assessment of dietary patterns and sleep quality in middle aged Gujarati community

Abstract

Background: Globally, Gujaratis are estimated to comprise around 33% of the Indian diaspora worldwide. According to Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) world factbook demographic statistics, India's highest percentage comprises 25 to 64 years of age. In earlier times, sleep was thought to be complaisant and dormant in daily lives. Gujaratis are esteemed entrepreneurs, industrialists and brokers and homemakers. This manifests much independence and responsibility, which might result in stressful living. This causes brains to be very active during sleep, which affects sleep quality and dietary patterns. Aim: To correlate dietary patterns and sleep quality of middle age in the Gujarati community. Methodology: The study was carried out on 100 middle-aged Gujarati men and women residing all over India. Participants were selected by the purposive convenience sampling method. A hybrid mode was used to collect the data. The structured questionnaire was administered through google form and a 24-hours dietary recall was collected through phone calls, google meet. Data was analysed using SPSS software version 25. Results: Nutrients such as energy, protein, zinc and copper were low in both genders and also fat intake was low in females and vitamin C in males when compared with RDA. While intake of carbohydrates, tryptophan was higher in both the genders wherein fat was higher in males than in RDA. Gender, tobacco, alcohol, and eating/drinking before sleep lowers habitual sleep efficiency, which means it lowers the number of sleeping in bed to the number of hours lying in bed. Sleep latency is linked with gender and bedroom temperature i.e., males fall asleep sooner than females and poor lighting, noisy rooms and too hot/cold bedroom cause delay in falling asleep. Alcohol and tobacco consumption decreases sleep duration i.e., fewer hours of sleep. Poor subjective sleep is observed with increased screen time and eating habits before bed. Less physical activity and a lesser gap between the last meal and bedtime have daytime dysfunction which affects being enthusiastic about everyday chores. Conclusion: From the study, it can be concluded that Middle-aged Gujaratis show alterations in sleep quality when their dietary patterns were changed. Also, poor bedroom environment and higher screentime resulted in poor sleep quality.
