“…In examining sleep quality and cognitive deficits, Amer et al found 24% of good sleepers to have cognitive deficits compared to 52% of poor sleepers on the Mini-Mental State Examination. 4 This effect of sleep on cognition was evident even when comparing individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with sleep disorders to MCI patients without sleep disorders, whereby the latter had significantly higher scores in domains such as attention, visuo-spatial/executive function compared to the former. 27 One possible reason for the insignificant finding in this study might be due to the limited number of cognitive domains that were examined in relation to sleep problems.…”

“…Although evident among young and middle‐aged adults, sleep problems are particularly common among the elderly, with a large majority reporting sleep to be shallow and fragmented . In a review by Ohayon, difficulties initiating sleep were reported in 15–45% of non‐institutionalized elderly, disrupted sleep in 20–65%, early morning awakening in 15–54%, and non‐restorative sleep in about 10%.…”

“…1 Leger et al found prevalence rates of sleep problems among individuals aged 15 years and above across the USA, Western Europe, and Japan to be 56%, 31%, and 23%, respectively, 2 while epidemiological surveys have shown that approximately 13-33% of Australian adults have reported frequent difficulties in initiating or maintaining sleep. 3 Although evident among young and middle-aged adults, sleep problems are particularly common among the elderly, 4 with a large majority reporting sleep to be shallow and fragmented. 5,6 In a review by Ohayon,7 difficulties initiating sleep were reported in 15-45% of non-institutionalized elderly, disrupted sleep in 20-65%, early morning awakening in 15-54%, and non-restorative sleep in about 10%.…”

“…However, compared to 7 hours of sleep duration, we observed no significant difference in subjective health perception for other sleep durations. Older adults have a higher prevalence of sleep disorders; 10,11) thus, the impact of insufficient sleep duration on subjective health perception could be greater in this population than in younger populations. In other words, if older adults perceive that they are lacking sleep, their subjective health perception is likely to be worse compared to those in younger populations.…”

“…10) These observations suggest a high prevalence of sleep disorders in older adults. 11) Thus, these individuals with a high prevalence of sleep problems may also have a high possibility of reduced subjective health perception, which may ultimately affect the actual health status.…”

Sleeping is a major component of health, and sleep disorders increase the risk of major diseases, including cardiovascular disease. 1) A previous study reported associations between sleep disorder and heart failure, coronary heart disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. 2) Sleep problems are well known to affect the quality of life, 3) including poor response to health that indicates a decrease in subjective health perception. Furthermore, sleep disorders, including insomnia, daytime sleepiness, 4) short sleep duration, and long sleep duration, 5) are associated with decreases in subjective health perception. Sleep quality is also associated with decreased quality of life, including subjective health perception. 6) Subjective health perception involves recognizing one's health status; this information can then be used to assess an individual's general health status. 7) In addition, regardless of the actual state of health, if the subjective health perception is poor, the level of daily Background: Sleeping is a major component of health. The prevalence of sleep disorders is expected to be high in older adults, and sleep habits generally differ on weekdays and weekends. This study aimed to clarify the associations between sleep habits and the subjective health status of older adults. Methods: This study analyzed data of 1,678 older adults (695 men and 883 women) aged 65 years or older who had participated in the 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII-1) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The participants' subjective health perceptions were analyzed according to their sleep habits. Results: Weekday and weekend sleep durations were related to subjective health in older men (p<0.05) but not in women. The subjective health perception was significantly better for a 9-hour sleep duration than for a 7-hour sleep duration in older men. Sleeping and waking times on weekdays and weekends were not related to the subjective health of either men or women. Conclusion: Weekday and weekend sleep durations were related to subjective health perception in older men.

Objectives Both pre-frailty and frailty are linked with impaired executive function (EF) but the mechanism underlying this relationship is not known. Williams and colleagues’ model posits EF affects health outcomes via stress regulation. This model was utlized to test indicators of stress regulation as mediators of the relationship between EF and pre-frailty in older adults. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Academic general clinical research centers. Participants 690 community-dwelling older adults ≥ 50 years of age. Measurements Pre-frailty was measured using a modified form of the Fried Frailty measure. EF was assessed via telephone-based neurocognitive assessments. Indicators of stress regulation included: stress exposure (measured by perceived stress), reactivity and recovery (measured by heart rate) and restoration (measured by serum interleukin-6 and sleep quality). Results 396 individuals were classified as non-frail, 277 as pre-frail, and 17 as frail. Pre-frail and non-frail individuals were included in data analyses. Compared to non-frail individuals, prefrail were older and exhibited poorer EF, higher levels of stress exposure and poorer stress restoration. Poorer EF was associated with greater stress exposure, less stress reactivity, longer stress recovery and poorer stress restoration. The total effect of the relationship between EF and pre-frailty was significant with significant indirect effects supporting stress exposure and restoration as mediators of the relationship. Conclusion Stress exposure and restoration appear to mediate the relationship between EF and pre-frailty. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the direction of causality and determine whether stress regulation processes are appropriate targets for interventions aiming to prevent declines in EF and the development of pre-frailty.

Does self-reported sleep quality predict poor cognitive performance among elderly living in elderly homes?

Abstract: Poor quality of sleep is related to cognitive impairment among elderly living in elderly homes and this problem should be taken in consideration among this group of elders.
