Özet

This cross-sectional study examined the associations between dietary advanced glycation end products (dAGEs) intake, obesity, mental health, and sleep quality in Turkish adults. A total of 383 individuals were evaluated using validated scales (DASS-21, PSQI), anthropometric measurements, and 24-hour dietary recall. Dietary intakes of CML, CEL, and MG-H1 values were estimated using a European AGEs database. Higher dAGEs intake was significantly associated with increased BMI, waist circumference, depression, anxiety, stress, and poor sleep quality (p <.05). The main dAGEs contributors were cereals, meat products, cakes/biscuits, and confectionery items. Results suggest dAGEs intake may negatively impact mental health and sleep.
