“…The results of gender differences in the prevalence studies of insomnia have been mixed. Some studies found that women suffered from insomnia more frequently than men (8,18,19), while opposite findings were found in other studies (28). A previous meta-analysis of cross-sectional studies (29) found that women had a higher risk of insomnia [risk ratio (RR) = 1.41].…”

“…In order to reduce its adverse outcomes and allocate appropriate health resources, health professionals and policymakers need to understand the patterns and clinical features of insomnia. Prevalence of insomnia in the general population varies greatly across studies, ranging from 5.8 to 32.8% (18)(19)(20)(21), and is associated with certain demographic factors, such as age, gender, marital status, income, and education level (22).…”

Objective: Insomnia is a major health challenge in the general population, but the results of the gender differences in the epidemiology of insomnia have been mixed. This is a meta-analysis to examine the gender difference in the prevalence of insomnia among the general population.Methods:Two reviewers independently searched relevant publications in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science from their inception to 16 April 2019. Studies that reported the gender-based prevalence of insomnia according to the international diagnostic criteria were included for analyses using the random-effects model.Results:Eventually 13 articles were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of insomnia in the general population was 22.0% [n = 22,980, 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.0–28.0%], and females had a significantly higher prevalence of insomnia compared with males (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.35, 1.85, Z = 5.63, p < 0.0001). Subgroup analyses showed that greater gender difference was associated with the use of case-control study design and consecutive sampling method. Meta-regression analyses also revealed that higher proportion of females and better study quality were significantly associated with greater gender difference.Conclusions:This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of insomnia in females was significantly higher than males in the included studies. Due to the negative effects of insomnia on health, regular screening, and effective interventions should be implemented in the general population particularly for females.

“…It is reported that insomnia is often found in women [36] and the sleep quality is worse than in men [37]. However, this study did not clearly show the relationship between gender and the sleep quality, although it is reported that there is a relationship between insomnia and bodily pain [35] [36], it was not clarified in this study.…”

Japan's aging population rate is increasing and healthy life expectancy has decreases by 10 years shorter than average life expectancy. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship among chronic disease, sleep quality, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and activities of daily living in people over 55 years old who live in the community. Subjects were 161 persons aged 57 to 90 years who were treated with chronic disease in the outpatient department of the A hospital. Exclusion criteria included patients with dementia, cancer and severe heart disease. The survey evaluation questionnaires included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), HRQOL by Short-Form 8 Health Survey (SF-8), and activities of daily living. Variables associated with quality of sleep, HRQOL in univariate analysis with p < 0.05 were entered into multivariate analysis using logistic regression with a stepwise forward selection procedure to determine independent variables and their association with major causes. The logistic regression analysis was done using SPSS software and the post-hoc power of the study was estimated using G*power. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. The risk factor of poor sleep quality was because of history of cancer [odds ratio (OR): 3.53, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 -11.77], and insomnia (OR: 3.25, 95% CI: 1.55 -6.79). The risk factors of poor physical HRQOL were motor disease (OR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.36 -5.07), respiratory disHow to cite this paper: Sugimoto, H., Tanioka, T., Yasuhara, Y., Kurokawa, A., Sato, M., Ozawa, K., Locsin, R. and Honda, S. CI: 0.15-0.59) was as "younger than actual age" and advanced the risk factor of poor sleep quality. In addition, feeling-for-their-age (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.21 -0.92) resulted in reduced risk factor of poor physical HRQOL. The risk factor of poor sleep quality was due to a patient with history of cancer. The factor for good sleep quality and the good factor for physical HRQOL were indications of feeling younger than the actual age.

“…← Click for updates doi: 10.7243/2056-9157- Other previous studies have shown that the aging process is often accompanied by diminished sleep quality and irregular sleep patterns [3][4][5], and that as age increases, physical HRQOL declines [6][7][8]. Furthermore, sleep problems were significantly correlated with chronic diseases, such as depression [5,9], heart diseases [5,9,10], arthritis [5,9,10], and lung diseases [9,10]. It was also reported that the presence of chronic or serious diseases significantly lower HRQOL [11][12][13].…”

Background: In contemporary Japan, the nuclear family continues to be the dominant family model which started during the high economic growth era (1955~1973). This situation diminished the opportunities for children to experience and know the life style of elderly persons. Sharing experiences and knowledge of older persons can provide helpful hints about how to live healthier lives. This study described the distinctive characteristics of an elderly person who is living a fulfilling life despite chronic illness. Methods: In August 2017, nine elderly community-dwelling elderly who met the inclusion criteria of being chronically ill and leading positive and self-fulfilling lives were selected. They showed good sleep quality and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores, and managed to lead positive and self-fulfilling lives. This study was about one of the nine elderly persons whose narrative distinctly described the evolution of life events and experiences of personal living. Analysis followed the case description method. Results: After a major health crisis, the selected participant realized an appreciation of his own mortality, providing the opportunity to re-examinine his life habits and discover new pleasures through interactions with friends. Despite the changes from a major health crisis, he maintained a positive outlook on life and strove to be forward-looking, inspired by the parting words of his older brother who died in World War II. It appeared that chronic illness at a later stage in life leads persons to reflect on their past, revisit their philosophy of life and the ways they lived their lives. Conclusions: In order to lead self-fulfilling lives even while disease-stricken, older persons need a setting that allows them to re-tell their life stories often through reminiscence therapy. By listening to these stories, the children and their guardians can have the opportunity to appreciate and reexamine their own contemporary lifestyles and consider their future courses in life. This typical case exemplified having a chronic illness and living life positively.
