Gender differences in the association between sleep duration and diabetes in Chinese adults
There was a U-shaped association between sleep duration and the risk of diabetes in women, with the lowest risk for diabetes at approximately 8-9h/day. For men, risk for new-onset diabetes decreased significantly with increasing sleep duration only among participants < 60 years. The effect of sleep on older men was not statistically significant.
