Background: Reduced sleep quality is common in advanced age. Poor sleep quality is associated with adverse outcomes, possibly because of its association with lipid disorder. However, the correlates of sleep quality in older populations are unknown. Objectives: To assess the association of levels of blood lipid with quality of sleep in older diabetic patients treated at National Geriatric Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 178 older diabetic patients treated at National Geriatric Hospital from March to October, 2020. Quality of sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: Among 178 participants, the mean age was 73.5 ± 8.0; female account for 57.3%. The rate of poor sleep quality was 67.4%. There was significant difference between cholesterol concentration and blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg in female and sleep quality with p<0.05. There was no significant difference between fasting plasma glucose, triglyceride and HDL-C level, waist circumference and sleep quality. Conclusion: Our results confirm a high prevalence of poor sleep quality in older diabetic people. Early detection by performing PSQI for screening sleep disturbance in older diabetic patients then give appropriate treatment can help improved effectiveness of treatment as well as the patients’ quality of life.
