Restricted linear association between night sleep duration and diabetes risk in middle-aged and older adults: a 7-year follow-up analysis from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A rapid increase in the prevalence of diabetes is an urgent public health concern among older adults, especially in developing countries such as China. Despite several studies on lifestyle factors causing diabetes, sleep, a key contributor, is understudied. Our study investigates the association between night sleep duration and diabetes onset over a 7-year follow-up to fill information gaps.

Method

A population-based cohort study with 5437 respondents used 2011-2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study data. Using self-reported night sleep duration from the 2011 baseline survey, information on new-onset diabetes was collected in follow-up surveys. Baseline characteristics of participants with vs. without new-onset diabetes were compared using Chi-square
