Sleep Duration Patterns in Early to Middle Adulthood and Subsequent Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify sleep duration trajectories from early to middle adulthood and their associations with incident type 2 diabetes.

Research design and methods

Using a group-based modeling approach, we identified sleep duration trajectories based on sleep duration in ages 20-25, 26-35, 36-45, and 46+ years, which were retrospectively assessed in 2009 among 60,068 women from the Nurses' Health Study II (median age 54.9 years) who were free of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. We investigated the prospective associations between sleep duration trajectories and diabetes risk (2009-2017) using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.

Results

We documented 1,797 incident diabetes cases over a median follow-up of 7.8 years (442,437 person-years). Six sl
