Association between duration and quality of sleep and the risk of pre-diabetes: evidence from NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To examine the association between duration and quality of sleep and the prevalence of undiagnosed and clinically identified diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes in a nationally representative sample.

Methods

Cross-sectional study of 2285 participants ≥ 30 years old and without diagnosed sleep disorders from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2008). The primary exposures were sleep duration and quality. Sleep quality was assessed by questionnaire using trouble initiating sleep, trouble maintaining sleep, and waking up too early. The primary outcomes were clinically identified and undiagnosed pre-diabetes and diabetes as defined by the American Diabetes Association using fasting plasma glucose (5.6-6.9 mmol/l = pre-diabetes; ≥ 7.0 mmol/l = diabetes)
