Background. There are limited data on sleep duration and diabetes from developing countries. We therefore examined the relationship between reported hours of sleep, diabetes prevalence and glucose control in Jamaican adults.Methods. Data on reported hours of sleep and diabetes (based on glucose measurement and medication use) from a national survey of 15–74-year-old Jamaicans were analyzed.Results. The 2,432 participants (31% M, Age42±16years, BMI27.6±6.6 kg/m2, diabetes prevalence 12%) reported sleeping8.2±1.8hours. In men, sleeping less than 6 hours (OR (95% CI) = 2.65 (1.09–6.48)) or more than 10 hours (OR (95% CI) = 4.36 (1.56–12.19)) was associated with diabetes when adjusted for age, BMI, and family history of diabetes. In women sleeping less than 6 hours was associated with a reduced likelihood of diabetes after adjusting for the same confounders ((OR (95% CI) = 0.43 (0.23–0.78)). There was no significant association between sleep and glucose control.Conclusion. Insufficient and excessive sleep was associated with increased diabetes prevalence in Jamaican men but not women.

Introduction: The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a cluster of complex interrelated risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease which includes central obesity, glucose intolerance, hypertension, high triglyceride and low HDL-C. The prevalence of MS in Asian Indian is 49.2%. There is evidence of increasing prevalence of MS in the world. Therefore, we intended to find the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the local population of Patan, a major urban center in Nepal. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study which was carried out in one of the urban clusters (or wards) of the Lalitpur Sub- Metropolitan (or Patan) City. Measurements of waist circumference, height, weight; blood parameters like lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS) were done. Measurement of blood pressure was done. The prevalence of MS was obtained by using three different criteria Joint Interim Statement 2009 criteria, International diabetes federation (IDF) 2005 criteria and National cholesterol education program adult treatment Panel (NCEP ATP) III 2001 criteria. Results: There were 205 participants among which 34.6% were male and 65.4% were female. The prevalence of MS as per the Joint Interim Statement 2009, IDF 2005 and NCEP ATP III 2001 criteria was 61.7%, 52.7% and 43.4% respectively. There was significantly high total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TAG), FBS, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and significantly low HDL-C in the individuals with MS compared to the normal individuals. The logistic regression revealed the increasing prevalence of MS with increasing age, BMI and positive family history of diabetes. Conclusions: There is high prevalence of MS in the study population. Age, BMI and family history of diabetes are found to be the main predictors for metabolic syndrome.
