Abstract
Inadequate sleep in older adults is linked to health issues such as frailty, cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disorders. Maintaining regular sleep patterns is important for healthy aging, making effective sleep monitoring essential. While polysomnography is the gold-standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, its regular use in home settings is limited. Alternative objective monitoring methods in the home can offer insights into natural sleep patterns and factors affecting them without the limitations of polysomnography. This scoping review aims to examine current technologies, sensors and sleep parameters used for home-based sleep monitoring in older adults. It also aims to explore various predictors and outcomes associated with sleep to understand the factors of sleep monitoring at home. We identified 54 relevant articles using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and an AI tool (Research Rabbit), with 48 studies using wearable technologies and eight studies using non-wearable technologies. Further, six types of sensors were utilized. The most common technology employed was actigraphy wearables, while ballistocardiography and electroencephalography were less common. The most frequent objective parameters of sleep measured were total sleep time, wakeup after sleep onset and sleep efficiency, with only six studies evaluating sleep architecture in terms of sleep stages. Additionally, six categories of predictors and outcomes associated with sleep were analysed, including Health-related, Environmental, Interventional, Behavioural, Time and Place, and Social associations. These associations correlate with total sleep time, wakeup after sleep onset and sleep efficiency, and include in-bed behaviours, exterior housing conditions, aerobic exercise, living place, relationship status, and seasonal thermal environments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sleep Research is dedicated to basic and clinical sleep research. The Journal publishes original research papers and invited reviews in all areas of sleep research (including biological rhythms). The Journal aims to promote the exchange of ideas between basic and clinical sleep researchers coming from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. The Journal will achieve this by publishing papers which use multidisciplinary and novel approaches to answer important questions about sleep, as well as its disorders and the treatment thereof.
