ABSTRACT: Introduction: In Mexico, 18.3% of adults over 20 years of age have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Evidence suggests that sleep quality and duration are related to metabolic diseases, including the risk of developing T2D. A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in healthy adults, aged 18 to 40 years old, male and female, with normal weight, overweight and grade I obesity.

Poor sleep quality was 38.2%. The adjusted model showed an association between poor sleep quality and risk of T2D with an Exp B of 2.46 (95% CI: 1.85 - 5.21) and p
