“…Another potential explanation for the lack of association between PE and sleep problems may be because the relationship is more complex than that between PE and bothersome pain. Sleep disorders in older adults increase with aging, likely due to increased sleep latency, decreased sleep efficiency, and total sleep time, and they are impacted by medical, psychiatric, environmental, and psychosocial factors ( Cohen et al, 2022 ; Jaqua et al, 2023 ). Thus, in addition to PE, other nonpharmacological treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, sleep hygiene education, relaxation therapy, sleep restriction, light therapy, and stimulus control therapy, may be needed for older adults ( Brewster et al, 2022 ; Jaqua et al, 2023 ).…”

In this study, based on the 2022 National Health and Aging Trend Study ( N = 5,593, age 65+), we examined direct associations between moderate and vigorous physical exercise (PE) and depressive/anxiety symptoms as well as bothersome pain and sleep problems. We then examined if the association between PE and depressive/anxiety symptoms would be partially mediated by the effects of PE on bothersome pain and sleep problems. Results from a path model showed that controlling for sociodemographic and health statuses, PE was negatively associated with depressive/anxiety symptoms and bothersome pain, but it was not significantly associated with sleep problems. The mediation analysis showed that 10% of the total effects of PE on depressive/anxiety symptoms was indirect effects of PE on bothersome pain. This study is important as it examined the associations among PE, pain, sleep, and depression/anxiety in community-dwelling older adults in their natural environments. Healthcare and social service providers for older adults need to emphasize the importance and benefits of PE for older adults’ physical and mental health. Easy access to venues for PE is also important.

“…Up to 50% to 60% of older adults report experiencing SD. 1,2 These conditions are not only linked to impaired daytime functioning and increased fatigue but also substantially raise the risk of developing age-related diseases, including cardiovascular 3 and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as psychiatric conditions. 4,5 Furthermore, SD can lead to higher mortality rates, 6 resulting in considerable healthcare costs.…”

“…Sleep disturbances appear to increase with age as older people have increased sleep latency, increased early-morning awakening, increased sleep fragmentation, decreased sleep quality, and di culty maintaining sleep [5]. Importantly, recent studies have suggested that sleep disorders may be an early marker or cause of Alzheimer's disease pathology.…”

Background The appropriate sleep duration is essential for maintaining normal cognitive function, but evidence is scarce in rural elderly population. This study investigates the associations between self-reported sleep duration and cognitive function among older adults in rural China. Methods This population-based cross-sectional study used data from the Confucius Hometown Aging Project in Shandong, China. Data on demographics, lifestyles, and chronic health conditions were collected through interviews, clinical examinations, and laboratory tests. Sleep duration was classified into four groups (≤ 5, 6, 7, and ≥ 8 h/day). The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess the global and domain-specific cognitive function. Linear and logistic regression were performed to determine the associations between sleep duration and cognitive function. Results There was a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration and cognitive impairment. Compared with 6 hours’ sleep per day, sleeping ≤ 5 hours and ≥ 8 hours per day was associated with cognitive impairment, with odds ratio (95% confident interval) being 1.66 (1.02, 2.70) and 1.77 (1.07, 2.92) respectively. Compared with those sleep 6 hours per day, those sleep 5 hours per day or less had lower score of attention and calculation (β = -0.21, 95% confidence interval= -0.38, -0.05), those sleep 8 hours or more had lower score of orientation, attention and calculation, delayed recall, and linguistic competence (β range from − 0.08 to -0.22). Conclusions There is a U-shape relationship between sleep duration and cognitive impairment in rural Chinese older adults.
