Associations between home gardening and obstructive sleep apnoea: role of behavioural factors in the COMmunity-based Behaviour and Attitude Study in Tuvalu (COMBAT)
In the COMBAT study, home gardening was associated with lower OSA probability among subgroups with specific lifestyle factors. These findings suggest that home gardening could serve as a feasible and community-based intervention to mitigate OSA risk in Tuvalu and similar low-resource settings.
