Sleep disorders and unhealthy diet: A deadly combination

Research demonstrates that poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MED) and the presence of sleep disorders synergistically increase the risk of long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. The findings emphasize the importance of both diet and sleep quality in overall health outcomes.
