Abstract

Background

Sleep patterns change with the aging process, resulting in an increased risk of sleep disorders. Sleep quality might be associated with body composition and has been associated with frailty. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association of sleep quality with frailty components and body compositions of community-dwelling elderly individuals.

Methods

Observational and cross-sectional study conducted with ≥60 years of both sexes. Sleep quality was evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Self-reports of involuntary weight loss, handgrip strength (HGS), self-reported fatigue by the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), gait speed (GS) and levels of physical activity were assessed. Anthropometric measurements of body weight, height, calf circumference (CC) and waist circumference (WC), and body composition was assessed.

Results

A total of 141 participants (82% female; 69.5 ± 6.4 years old) were studied. It was found 60% of poor sleep quality. The prevalence of frailty was 2%, and 38% of the participants were classified as prefrail. Positive moderate correlations between sleep quality and BMI, CC, WC, GS, fat mass, fat mass and depressive symptoms (p < 0.05) were found. The logistic regression test revealed that HGS was positively associated with good sleep quality, while fat mass and depressive symptoms were negatively associated.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrated a high prevalence of poor sleep quality and a low prevalence of frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Sleep was associated with strength, body composition and depressive symptoms in this population.

社区居住老年人的睡眠质量、虚弱成分和身体成分：一项探索性研究

睡眠模式随着年龄的增长而改变，导致睡眠障碍的风险增加。睡眠质量可能与身体成分有关，并与身体虚弱有关。本研究的目的是评估社区居住老年人睡眠质量与虚弱成分和身体成分的关系。方法对年龄≥60岁的男性和女性进行观察性横断面研究。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）和Epworth嗜睡量表（ESS）评估睡眠质量。评估自我报告的非自愿体重减轻、握力（HGS）、老年抑郁量表（GDS）自我报告的疲劳、步态速度（GS）和身体活动水平。测量体重、身高、小腿围（CC）、腰围（WC）和身体组成。结果共141人，其中女性82%；（69.5±6.4岁）。研究发现60%的人睡眠质量差。虚弱的患病率为2%，38%的参与者被归类为虚弱。睡眠质量与BMI、CC、WC、GS、脂肪量、脂肪量和抑郁症状呈正相关(p <；0.05)。logistic回归检验显示，HGS与良好睡眠质量呈正相关，而脂肪量与抑郁症状呈负相关。结论目前的研究表明，在社区居住的老年人中，睡眠质量差的患病率较高，而虚弱的患病率较低。在这一人群中，睡眠与力量、身体成分和抑郁症状有关。
