Fewer hours of resting and sleeping and poorer diet quality are linked to ELA and/or PTSD, indicating that these pathways might underlie the development of several metabolic abnormalities in individuals with ELA and/or PTSD. Differences in terms of diet quality are significantly attenuated by race and/or education and/or income, whereas differences in other lifestyle habits of individuals with and without ELA and/or PTSD, such as physical activity, are mostly explained by confounding sociodemographic variables and/or body mass index.
