Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of sleep quality and mental health, with nutrient intake. We could not identify the relation between sleep quality and mental health in young women, but we found that participants with low sleep quality consume lower energy and energy-adjusted nutrients than participants with high sleep quality. It is therefore suggested that maintaining adequate energy intake and quality of diet could improves the quality of sleep in young women.
