A Study on Relationship Between Sleep Time and HbA1c in Korean Adult Female

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between glycated hemoglobin and sleep time in each age group of Korean females. The candidates of study subjects were 16, 277 females from 7th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2016-2017) and raw data of 6,266 females were included in final analysis after. For the analysis, complex sample chi-square test, General Linear Model (GLM), and complex sample logistic model were performed. Results: The sleep time showed statistically significant difference in adolescent and middle-aged group, however, this significance survived only in middle-aged group after applying covariates, indicating that the longer sleep time is associated with the higher risk of diabetes mellitus. It is expected that, based on these results, the monitoring of sleep time and glycated hemoglobin is used in screening diabetes mellitus complications and other various health problems.
