Abstract

Sleep disturbances are common among the elderly, influenced by multiple physiological factors, including blood pressure regulation, metabolic markers, nutritional status, and inflammation. Poor sleep quality has been linked to cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, and reduced overall well-being. Understanding the relationship between blood pressure, diabetes markers, vitamin D, and albumin levels with sleep quality may provide insights into potential interventions to improve sleep health in older adults. This study aims to analyze the correlation between blood pressure, diabetes panel (fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and HbA1c), vitamin D, and albumin levels with sleep quality in the elderly population. This Cross-sectional study was conducted at Bina Bhakti Nursing Home in 2024 to 58 elderly participants selected through total sampling. Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while physiological parameters were measured using validated clinical and laboratory methods. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rho test to determine correlations between these factors and sleep disturbances. This study found that diastolic blood pressure and HbA1c level showed weak correlations with sleep quality. Low diastolic blood pressure and poor glycemic control demonstrated weak but statistically significant correlations with sleep quality among older adults. These findings indicate that certain physiological and metabolic factors, particularly diastolic blood pressure and HbA1c, may be associated with variations in sleep regulation among the elderly. Future research should explore targeted interventions, such as blood pressure management and metabolic regulation, that may improve sleep quality and overall health in the aging population.

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains a major global health burden, with a high proportion of undiagnosed cases, particularly in community settings with limited access to laboratory testing. Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has emerged as a non-invasive, camera-based technology with potential for scalable screening. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement, diagnostic performance, and clinical role of rPPG-derived HbA1c as a screening tool or diagnostic alternative for T2DM. A cross-sectional diagnostic validation study was conducted among adults in a community setting in Semanan Subdistrict, Jakarta. Participants underwent non-contact facial scanning using an rPPG system alongside standard laboratory measurements of HbA1c and blood glucose. Agreement was assessed using Bland–Altman analysis and Cohen’s Kappa. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. rPPG-derived HbA1c showed a significant mean difference compared with laboratory measurements (0.63%; p 0.001; 95% CI: 0.34–0.93), indicating systematic bias. Categorical agreement was poor (κ = 0.029; p = 0.403). In screening analysis, sensitivity ranged from 65.38% to 97.37%, while specificity ranged from 8.91% to 59.55%, with consistently high negative predictive values (≥82%). ROC analysis demonstrated an AUC of 0.668 (p = 0.008) for diabetes and 0.711 (p 0.001) for prediabetes, indicating modest to acceptable discriminative ability. rPPG-based HbA1c estimation lacks sufficient agreement for diagnostic use. However, its relatively high sensitivity and scalability suggest that it may warrant further evaluation as a non-invasive screening tool for early detection and population-level risk stratification within mobile health settings.
