... of the participants reported that their mealtimes were not regular and 32.4% reported that they did not have regular sleep patterns. The Mediterranean diet pattern, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms' severity levels of the participants are given in Table 2. It was found that 53.2% of the individuals had a moderate level of Mediterranean diet pattern, 28.0% a good level, and 18.8% a bad Mediterranean diet pattern, and with an average score of 7.9±2.54, the Mediterranean diet pattern level of the participants has been observed to be moderate in general. ...Similar publications
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a world-renowned healthy dietary pattern. In the present study we analyse the climate sustainability of the MD and the greenhouse gas emissions (E GHG ) associated with current dietary patterns in Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean EU countries, focusing on the major deviations from the MD health and environmental ta...

Background and aims
Despite a huge body of evidence on the linkage between dietary intakes and pattern of sleeping, the findings are controversial. The current study aimed to summarize earlier findings on the association between adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) and pattern of sleeping.
Methods
This study performed based on PRISMA guideline. Systematically search was applied in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar to find out relevant publications appeared up to February 2023. No restrictions on language and time of publication were applied. Duplicate citations were removed. We included observational studies which assessed MD as the main exposure and kind of sleep disorders as the main outcome.
Results
A total of 20 observational studies included. Out of these studies, two were cohort studies and 18 had a cross-sectional design. A total of 21,714 participants included. Usual dietary intakes were assessed using a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire, and a diet history questionnaire. Some studies did not report methods of measuring habitual dietary intakes. Adherence to MD was evaluated by KIDMED questionnaire, PREMED, alternate Mediterranean (aMed) questionnaire, MEDAS questionnaire, MedDietScore, MEDI-LITE score, modified Mediterranean Diet Score (mMDS), Mediterranean food pattern (MFP) and modified Mediterranean diet score (mMED). Pattern of sleeping was examined as sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep latency, sleep efficacy, sleepiness, sleep disturbance, taking a nap and some other sleep disorders.
Conclusion
In conclusion, findings of published studies highlighted the importance of consumption of MD for better sleep quality.
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has many beneficial effects on health. However, compliance with MD is decreasing among university students. Aim: This study aims to investigate compliance with the MD and the association of MD with sleep quality, depression, anxiety, stress, and body mass index (BMI) among university students. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 750 students of Ondokuz Mayıs University, a state university in Samsun, Türkiye. Sociodemographic data and self-reported anthropometric data (weight and height) were recorded using a survey. The Mediterranean diet quality index for children and adolescents (KIDMED), the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and the depression anxiety stress scale-42 (DASS-42) were self-administered. Results: Most students (59.2%) had poor KIDMED adherence. Compared to poor adherers, those with good adherence to the KIDMED had significantly lower depression scores (in males and females). Higher adherence to the KIDMED was correlated with lower depression and stress levels (in males and females) and lower PSQI scores (lower sleep disturbances) in females. The KIDMED scores of overweight females were greater than those of underweight females. Conclusion: University students show poor adherence to the MD. Low adherence to the MD may have a negative impact on depression, stress, and sleep quality. This study suggests that interventions to promote MD may help improve university students’ sleep disturbances and mental health.
Amaç: Üniversite öğrencileri arasında fiziksel inaktivite ve uyku kalitesi yetersizliği sık görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin fiziksel aktivite ve uyku kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi ile diyet kalitesi ve gece yeme sendromu ile ilişkilerinin tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Metot: Çalışma, Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümünde öğrenim gören yaş ortalaması 20.9±1.9 olan 100 öğrencinin katılımı ile yapılmıştır. Öğrencilere toplam 28 soru içeren anket uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı değerleri kullanılarak, beden kütle indeksi değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Ankette, “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Form”, “Besin Tüketim Sıklığı Anketi”, “Besin Tüketim Kaydı”, “Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, Gece Yeme Anketi” ve “Diyet Kalite İndeksi-Uluslararası” yer almıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 69.0’unun minimal aktif olduğu, % 49.0’unun uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu, % 6.0’sında gece yeme sendromu olduğu, % 55.0’inin diyet kalitesinin kötü olduğu görülmüştür. Enerji içeceği, kola, gazoz vb. ve meyve tüketim sıklığının uyku kalitesini azaltabildiği belirlenmiştir. Enerji içeceği, kola, gazoz vb., hazır meyve suyu, sütlü tatlılar, hamur işi tatlılar, margarin, cips ve patates kızartması tüketim sıklıkları ile gece yeme sendromu arasında pozitif yönlü korelasyon olduğu saptanmıştır. Uyku kalitesi ile fiziksel aktivite ve gece yeme arasında zıt yönlü ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gece yeme ile beden kütle indeksi arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Besin tüketim sıklığı, fiziksel aktivite ve gece yemenin uyku kalitesini % 57,4 oranında etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Diyet kalitesi ile uyku kalitesi arasında ilişki bulunmamıştır. Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencileri arasında yaygınlık gösteren uyku kalitesizliğinin ortadan kaldırılması için uyku kalitesini azaltan besinlerin tüketiminden kaçınılması ve fiziksel aktivitenin makul düzeylerde artırılması önem taşımaktadır.
