PUFA ω-3 and ω-6 Biomarkers and Sleep: A Pooled Analysis of Cohort Studies on Behalf of the Fatty Acids and Outcomes Research Consortium (FORCE)

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2022

In a pooling analysis of 12 studies from 5 countries, higher blood/tissue concentrations of very long chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA + DPA + DHA and DHA alone) were associated with lower odds of long sleep duration. These findings highlight the importance of continued study of n-3 PUFAs given the public health implications of poor sleep.

Commercial Devices Provide Estimates of Energy Balance with Varying Degrees of Validity in Free-Living Adults

The Journal of Nutrition, 2022

Interest in improving accuracy, and replacing self-reports with passive tools when estimating energy balance (EB) using intake (EI), storage (ES) and expenditure (EE)) has led to wide use of commercial devices e.g. Fitbits. A study with free-living adults looked at repeatability, and measurement error of these devices and showed varying degrees of validity when used to estimate EB compared to gold-standard techniques, with EE measures being the most robust and ES the poorest.
