Abstract: Objective To investigate the association between sleep duration with glycemic control among community elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods A total of 688 elderly patients with T2DM were randomly selected from communities with multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method.Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the association of sleep duration with glycemic control. Results Of the elderly patients with T2DM,327(47.5%) cases presented with normal sleep, 136(19.8%) presenting with short sleep, and 225(32.7%) presenting with long sleep, respectively.After adjustment for potential confounders, long sleep duration was an independent influencing factor of glycemic under control(OR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.49-0.97 for glycated hemoglobin; OR=0.72, 95%CI: 0.49-0.95 for fasting plasma glucose). Conclusions Long duration of sleep could influence the glucose metabolism in the community elderly patients with T2DM, and decrease the rate of glycemic control.

Key words: sleep duration, glycemic control, community elderly, type 2 diabetes mellitus
