Sleeplessness and incident diabetes above the Arctic circle: a secondary analysis of cohort data from the Tromso Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Circadian misalignment and sleep quality are intertwined processes that are both associated with diabetes. The association between sleep quality and incident diabetes has not been previously investigated in populations living at polar latitudes who experience extreme seasonal daylight variation and may be at greater risk of circadian misalignment. Using data from adult residents of Tromsø, Norway, this study investigates the association of poor sleep quality, as indicated by self-reported sleeplessness, and incident diabetes above the Arctic circle.

Research design and methods

Secondary analysis of cohort data from the Tromsø Study. The study cohort consists of adults who attended both the fourth (Tromsø4) and seventh (Tromsø7) surveys conducted in 1995 and 2016
