Association between beverage quality with sleep disorders and quality of life: a cross-sectional study
There is growing recognition of how beverage consumption patterns influence key health outcomes, including sleep disorders and overall quality of life (QoL). This study by Leilami et al. (2025) examines the relationship between the Healthy Beverage Index (HBI) and the Healthy Beverage Score (HBS) with various health factors in a broad adult population, aiming to understand their broader implications for overall well-being. This cross-sectional study included 3,380 people between the ages of 20 and 65 who were part of the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Employees Health Cohort Study (SUMS EHCS). Participants completed a 119-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and underwent thorough assessments of anthropometric, lifestyle, and health variables. HBI and HBS scores were calculated to represent beverage consumption quality, and their associations with sleep quality and quality of life (QoL) were subsequently assessed. Higher HBI scores were significantly associated with a 16% improvement in quality of life (QoL) and a 17% lower risk of sleep disorders. These associations were statistically significant, indicating a meaningful impact of healthy beverage choices on health outcomes. In contrast, the HBS did not show significant associations with either quality of life (QoL) or sleep quality. The results suggest that better beverage habits, as reflected by higher HBI scores, may contribute to improved sleep and life satisfaction. Promoting healthier beverage options may be an effective public health strategy to enhance overall well-being.
