Type 2 diabetes and health-related quality of life among older Medicare beneficiaries: The mediating role of sleep.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine mediating effects of sleep quality and duration on the association between T2D and QoL among Medicare beneficiaries 65+.

Methods

Data from the Medicare Health Outcome Survey (2015-2020) were used. The outcome was QoL (physical and mental health component-summary scores [PCS and MCS]) measured by the Veterans-Rand-12. The main predictor was diagnosed T2D. Mediators were sleep duration and sleep quality. The effect modifier was race/ethnicity. Structural Equation Modeling was used to estimate moderated-mediating effects of sleep quality and duration across race/ethnicity.

Results

Of the 746,400 Medicare beneficiaries, 26.7% had T2D, and mean age was 76 years (SD ± 6.9). Mean PCS score was 40 (SD ± 12.2), and mean MCS score was 54.0 (SD ± 10.2). Asso
