Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Sleep Quality Among Persons with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Keywords:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Obstructive sleep apnea, Sleep qualityAbstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition which is prevalent worldwide. Sleep quality and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impact the health outcomes and quality of life of individuals with T2DM. This descriptive study aimed to explore the risk of OSA and sleep quality, and to investigate the differences in sleep quality among T2DM individuals with different OSA risks. The participants consisted of 384 individuals with T2DM from two tertiary hospitals in Jinghong City, Yunnan Province, China. The Chinese Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI) and the Chinese STOP-BANG questionnaire (CSBQ) were used to measure the sleep quality and risk of OSA, respectively. The reliability of CPSQI and CSBQ were 0.88 and 0.95, respectively. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis were used for data analysis.
The results indicated that among the participants with T2DM, 33.85% were at low risk, 34.64% were at intermediate risk, and 31.51% were at high risk for OSA. The mean global score for PSQI was 7.71 (SD 4.40). About 50.78% of the participants had poor sleep quality. Furthermore, sleep quality significantly differed at each risk level of OSA among individuals with T2DM (p < .001).
Healthcare professionals should consider assessing and managing sleep-related issues as an integral part of T2DM care. Future research should focus on developing effective interventions to improve sleep quality and reduce the risk of OSA in this population.
