- Abstract
Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a group of food processing byproducts, have been implicated in the development of various diseases. However, the relationship between circulating AGEs and sleep disorders remains uncertain. Methods: This cross-sectional study elucidated the association of plasma AGEs with sleep disorders among 1732 Chinese adults who participated in the initial visit (2019–2020) of the Tongji–Shenzhen Cohort (TJSZC). Sleep behavior was assessed using self-reported questionnaires and precise accelerometers. Plasma levels of AGEs, including Nε-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), Nε-(Carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL), and Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolone-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1), were quantified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Results: In logistic regression, per IQR increment in individual AGEs was associated with an increased odds ratio of short sleep duration (CML: 1.11 [1.00, 1.23]; CEL: 1.16, [1.04, 1.30]), poor sleep quality (CML: 1.33 [1.10, 1.60]; CEL: 1.53, [1.17, 2.00]; MG-H1: 1.61 [1.25, 2.07]), excessive daytime sleepiness (CML: 1.33 [1.11, 1.60]; MG-H1: 1.39 [1.09, 1.77]), and insomnia (CML: 1.29 [1.05, 1.59]). Furthermore, in weighted quantile sum regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression analyses, elevated overall exposure levels of plasma AGEs were associated with an increased risk of sleep disorders, including short sleep duration, poor sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and insomnia, with CML being identified as the leading contributor. Insufficient vegetable intake and higher dietary fat intake was associated with an increase in plasma CEL. Conclusions: These findings support a significant association between plasma AGEs and sleep disorders, indicating that AGEs may adversely influence sleep health and reducing the intake of AGEs may facilitate preventing and ameliorating sleep disorders.
