Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of sleep disorders and the value of body mass index in seniors, taking into account their quality of aging and participation in classes at Universities of the Third Age (UTAs).

Methods: The study involved 631 (100%) seniors from the Silesian Voivodeship, aged 60 to 96 years (𝑥̅ = 70.28 ± 6.09 years). An original survey questionnaire was used, supplemented by the Successful Aging Scale and the Athens Insomnia Scale questionnaires.

Results: The median of successful aging index (SAI) points obtained by UTAs "+" seniors was 11.71, while the median of SAI points obtained by UTAs "-" seniors was 11.18. Sleep disorders were more common in women than in men as well as among people aged 71-80 years compared to other groups. There were statistically significant weak negative correlations between the points obtained in Successful Aging Scale questionaire domains and the number of points in the Athens Insomnia Scale as well as body mass index value.

Conclusions: The occurrence of sleep disorders and abnormally increased body weight were associated with a deterioration in the quality of aging in the studied seniors. Seniors participating in UTAs activities had a better quality of aging than people who denied participating in the mentioned activity. Actions should be constantly taken to improve the quality of the aging process of seniors, including providing them with access to contacts with other people, treating sleep disorders and educating them on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a proper body weight.

老年人睡眠障碍的发生与体质指数值及衰老质量的关系

目的：本研究的目的是评估老年人睡眠障碍的发生和体重指数的价值，同时考虑到老年人的衰老质量和第三年龄大学（UTAs）的课堂参与情况。方法：研究对象为西里西亚省631名老年人（100%），年龄60 ~ 96岁（≥70.28±6.09岁）。采用原始调查问卷，辅以成功衰老量表和雅典失眠症量表。结果：UTAs“+”老年人获得的成功衰老指数（SAI）积分中位数为11.71,UTAs“-”老年人获得的SAI积分中位数为11.18。睡眠障碍在女性中比男性更常见，在71-80岁的人群中也比其他人群更常见。成功衰老量表问卷域得分与雅典失眠症量表得分、体重指数值之间存在统计学上显著的弱负相关。结论：老年人睡眠障碍和体重异常增加与衰老质量恶化有关。参加UTAs活动的老年人比拒绝参加上述活动的老年人具有更好的衰老质量。应不断采取行动，提高老年人衰老过程的质量，包括为他们提供与其他人接触的机会，治疗睡眠障碍，并教育他们了解健康生活方式和保持适当体重的好处。Geriatr Gerontol 2025；••: ••-••.
