Association between sleep duration and sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults

Abstract: Both sleep disorders and sarcopenia are common among older adults. However, little is known about the relationship between these 2 conditions.This study aimed to investigate the possible association between sleep duration and sarcopenia in a population of Chinese community-dwelling older adults.Community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years or older were recruited. Self-reported sleep duration, anthropometric data, gait speed, and handgrip strength were collected by face-to-face interviews. Sarcopenia was defin… Show more

“…A decrease in the level of physical activities might be another mechanism underlying the association between sarcopenia and sleep disorders. In other words, a decrease in the level of physical activities is known to be closely associated with sarcopenia and sleep disorders . Furthermore, the involvement of endocrine hormones (decrease in insulin‐like growth factors‐1 or testosterone and increase in cortisol) in the association between sarcopenia and sleep disorders has been suggested .…”

“…In other words, a decrease in the level of physical activities is known to be closely associated with sarcopenia 6 and sleep disorders. 3,11 Furthermore, the involvement of endocrine hormones (decrease in insulin-like growth factors-1 or testosterone and increase in cortisol) in the association between sarcopenia and sleep disorders has been suggested. 3 In the present study, levels of physical activities and endocrine hormones were not evaluated, and a further examination of the mechanism that links sarcopenia and sleep disorders in older diabetes patients is warranted.…”

“…Indeed, a combination of both low skeletal muscle mass and increased fat mass, i.e. sarcopenic obesity [26], has been strongly associated with general sleep disorders and, in particular, with short sleep duration [27]. Similar to sleep impairments, epidemiological studies have emphasised that the imbalance between high BMI and muscle impairment is also independently linked to accelerated functional decline and high risk of chronic conditions and mortality [26,28].…”
