The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and correlates of regular napping among older adults.
The National Sleep Foundation's "2003 Sleep in America Poll," a 20-minute telephone interview that focused on the topic of "sleep and aging" (N = 1,506 adults 55-84 years of age).
Overall, 15% of respondents reported regular napping, ranging in prevalence from 10% among those 55-64 years of age to 25% among those 75-84 years of age. In addition to older age and a strong association with excessive daytime sleepiness, other factors that independently increased prevalence included a diagnosis of depression, bodily pain, and nocturia.
Regular napping is common among older adults. Longitudinal studies of napping behavior and health status are needed to establish risk factors other than excessive daytime sleepiness.
本研究的目的是描述老年人中经常午睡的患病率及其相关因素。
美国国家睡眠基金会的“2003年美国睡眠民意调查”,这是一项时长20分钟的电话访谈,重点关注“睡眠与衰老”主题(N = 1506名55 - 84岁的成年人)。
总体而言,15%的受访者报告经常午睡,患病率从55 - 64岁人群中的10%到75 - 84岁人群中的25%不等。除了年龄较大以及与白天过度嗜睡密切相关外,其他独立增加患病率的因素包括抑郁症诊断、身体疼痛和夜尿症。
经常午睡在老年人中很常见。需要对午睡行为和健康状况进行纵向研究,以确定除白天过度嗜睡之外的风险因素。
