摘要
PurposeSleep problems are very common in people with diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the association of the combination of self-reported sleep duration and sleep quality on quality of life (QOL) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsWe analyzed the community-based cross-sectional data of 798 patients with T2DM in Xiamen, China, in 2016. Sleep duration was measured as self-reported average sleep time during the previous month. Sleep quality was evaluated as self-rated reports. QOL was assessed by the Diabetes-specific Quality of Life (DSQL), with scores<40 and 80 set as cut-off values for differentiating good, fair, and poor QOL. Ordinal logistic regression was performed to model the associations of QOL with sleep duration, sleep quality, and their combined effects by adjusting for certain covariates.ResultsThe separate associations of sleep duration and sleep quality in relation to QOL in T2DM patients were significant (P<0.05). After controlling for sleep quality, there was no significant correlation between sleep duration and QOL. The combined analysis suggested that the association of sleep duration with QOL in T2DM patients was sleep quality-dependent. Longer sleep duration was associated with higher odds ratios (ORs) of better QOL for patients who reported fair sleep quality and good sleep quality, but no such trend was observed for patients who reported poor sleep quality (P> 0.05). Excessive sleep duration (9h per day) was detrimental to QOL in T2DM only when they reported poor sleep quality.ConclusionsSpecific disparities exist in the association of sleep quality with sleep duration and QOL in T2DM patients. Failures to take into account the effect of sleep quality when evaluating the impact of sleep on QOL significantly bias the results. It is important to integrate duration and quality of sleep as a composite sleep index when assessing sleep of patients with T2DM.
