“…Women also more often obtained results indicating borderline insomnia, both in rural (24.9%) and urban (18.14%) areas. Other authors have reported similar results, showing a greater incidence of insomnia in women [3,5,32,33,34].…”

Introduction.Insomnia is considered the most common sleep disorder. Sleep deprivation, regardless of its causes, leads to deterioration in the quality of life (QoL), poorer daytime functioning, and reduced professional productivity. It also contributes to an increase in the number of occupational and road accidents. Most research on sleep problems has been conducted on samples of urban residents, with few studies among people living in rural areas, where high rates of sleep problems have also been recorded.Objective. The aim of the study was to determine sleep problems and their impact on the QoL of rural and urban residents of the West Pomeranian Province of Poland. Materials and method. The study involved 597 people: 187 (31.32%) rural and 410 (68.68%) urban residents. The research instruments used in the study were standardized questionnaires, namely the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), and the author's questionnaire concerning socio-demographic data.Results. There was a statistically significant relationship between insomnia and gender, both among rural (p < 0.050) and urban (p < 0.005) residents. Diseases that turned out to be significantly related to insomnia in rural residents were diabetes (p < 0.045) and depression (p < 0.015). Women living in the city assessed their QoL worse than men (p < 0.0005). The lowest QoL was demonstrated in people with insomnia. Conclusions: The results suggest that insomnia is often a permanent condition in the Polish population. Bearing in mind the prevalence of insomnia among Poles, especially in the 60-79 age group, it is necessary to introduce obligatory tests of sleep disorders and QoL into the practice of a family doctor, due to the long-term adverse effects of persistent insomnia.

“…We did not assess tau deposition within the brain, considering that tau metabolism is also sleep related 42 and more directly related to cognitive disturbances in older individuals 49 . Finally, although sex difference has been described previously in sleep literature 50 and in pathophysiology of AD, 47 in the actigraphy/amyloid literature, possible sex interactions have not been clearly investigated yet. Thus there is a need for additional studies on this field directly addressing the sex difference.…”

INTRODUCTIONAlzheimer's disease is associated with sleep disturbances and accumulation of cerebral amyloid beta. The objective was to examine whether actigraphy‐detected sleep parameters might be biomarkers for early amyloid burden.METHODSParticipants underwent a week of actigraphy and an amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan. Sleep duration and continuity disruption (sleep fragmentation and nocturnal awakenings) were extracted and compared between amyloid‐positive and amyloid‐negative participants. Then multiple linear regressions were used between mean or night‐to‐night intra‐individual variability (standard deviation) of sleep parameters and brain amyloid burden in a voxel‐wise analysis.RESULTSEighty‐six subjects were included (80.3 ± 5.4 years; 48.8% of women). Amyloid‐positive participants had a higher variability of sleep fragmentation compared to amyloid‐negative participants. This parameter was associated with a higher amyloid burden in the frontal and parietal regions, and in the precuneus, in the whole sample.DISCUSSIONThis study highlights the relevance of using variability in sleep continuity as a potential biomarker of early amyloid pathogenesis.

“…Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that females, new rural cooperative medical insurance, depression, and anxiety were independent risk factors for sleep disorders in individuals with CHD ( P < 0.05). According to research by Ulander et al [ 11 ], women are more prone than men to experience sleep disorders. According to Wang et al [ 12 ], female cancer patients have an increased incidence of sleep disorders.…”

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that sleep disorders are closely related to anxiety and depression, and the quality of life (QoL) of patients with sleep disorders is generally poor. AIM To examine the occurrence of sleep disorders in people with coronary heart disease (CHD) and their relationships with QoL, depression, and anxiety. METHODS As per the sleep condition, 240 CHD individuals were separated into two groups: non-sleep disorder group ( n = 128) and sleep disorder group ( n = 112). The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and World Health Organization criteria for the Quality of Life Brief scale (WHOQOL-BREF) scores of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression method was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CHD patients with sleep disorders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to develop the risk prediction model. The association among the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, SAS, and SDS was examined using Spearman’s correlation analysis. RESULTS The incidence of sleep disorder was 46.67% in 240 patients. The scores of SAS and SDS in the sleep disorder group were higher than those in the non-sleep disorder group, and the WHOQOL-BREF scores were lower than those in the non-sleep disorder group ( P < 0.05 ). The risk prediction model of sleep disturbances in CHD patients was constructed using the outcomes of multivariate logistic regression analysis, P = 1/[1 + e (-2.160 + 0.989 × (female) + 0.001 × (new rural cooperative medical insurance) + 2.219 × (anxiety) + 2.157 × depression)]. The results of a Spearman’s correlation study revealed that sleep quality was strongly adversely connected with the physiological field, psychological field, and social relation scores in QoL, and was considerably positively correlated with SAS and SDS ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A multivariate logistic regression model can better predict the occurrence of sleep disorders in CHD patients. Sleep disorders in CHD patients are significantly correlated with QoL, depression, and anxiety.
