Am J Resp Crit Care: Sleep apnea and insomnia are associated with high blood pressure and diabetes.

Sleep disorders are associated with high blood pressure and diabetes and are a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death.
important to understand these associations among Hispanics/Latinos, where cardiovascular death is the leading cause of death.
A recent study published in Am J Resp Crit Care, an authoritative journal in respiratory medicine and intensive medicine, looked at the potential gender differences in the six-year follow-up study to investigate the forward-looking associations between sleep apnea (SDB) and insomnia and hypertension and diabetes among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States.
researchers used the survey logistic regression model to analyze data from 11,623 Hispanic/Latino participants in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Latino Study (follow-up 1:2008-2011; follow-up 2:2014-2017) and corrected potential mix factors.
researchers measured subjects' SDB (apnea-underspiration index s5) and insomnia (Women's Health Initiative insomnia scale s9) at baseline.
defines hypertension (phase 2) and diabetes in accordance with national guidelines.
52.6 per cent of the target population, with a baseline average age of 41.1 to 14.9 years.
compared to no SDB, SDB was associated with an adjusted ratio of 1.54 (95% confidence interval (CI) (1.18, 2.00)) and 1.37 (95% CI (1.07, 1.75) higher than the ratio of diabetes.
insomnia was associated with high blood pressure (OR?1.37; 95% CI was 1.11, 1.69)), but not diabetes.
the correlation between insomnia and high blood pressure in men is stronger than in women.
that SDB is associated with high blood pressure and diabetes.
insomnia is associated with high blood pressure.
these results support the importance of sleep disorders as a changeable target for disease prevention and reduction.
