This study examined the effects of age, gender, and retirement on the subjective frequency of various sleep problems in individuals on a normal work schedule.
Data were taken from the VISAT study (Aging, Health, - Work), which allowed both cross-sectional and longitudinal aspects of age-related changes to be examined.
Various sorts of companies in southern France.
The cohorts comprised 623 male and female, employed and retired, wage earners who were 32, 42, 52, and 62 years old at the time of the first measurement (t1, 1996), and who were seen again 5 (t2) and 10 (t3) years later.
N/A.
Subjective ratings of the frequency of sleep problems and hypnotic usage were recorded on all 3 occasions, as was the employment status of the individuals. After controlling for age and gender, an effect of decade was observed for difficulty falling asleep and difficulty maintaining sleep, indicating that the frequency of these sleep problems was rated higher in 2006 than in 1996 by people of the same age at both measurement occasions. The perceived frequency of difficulty maintaining sleep, difficulty getting back to sleep, and premature awakening was found to increase up to the mid-50s but to then remain relatively constant, or even in the case of premature awakening to reduce, up to the age of 72. There was also a significant improvement in premature awakening among those individuals who changed from being active to being retired during the study period (n = 111). In contrast, the rated frequency of difficulty falling asleep and hypnotic usage increased fairly linearly over the entire age range.
Sleep complaints were reported early in the workers' lives, and were more frequent with age, but some of them improved after retirement, especially the complaint of premature awakening.
本研究旨在探讨年龄、性别和退休对正常工作时间表下个体各种睡眠问题主观频率的影响。
数据来自 VISAT 研究（衰老、健康、工作），该研究允许同时检查与年龄相关变化的横断面和纵向方面。
法国南部的各种公司。
队列包括 623 名男性和女性，在职和退休的，在第一次测量（t1，1996 年）时年龄分别为 32、42、52 和 62 岁的受雇和退休的工薪族，并且在 5 年（t2）和 10 年（t3）后再次接受检查。
无。
在所有 3 个时间点都记录了睡眠问题和催眠药物使用的主观频率评分，以及个体的就业状况。在控制年龄和性别后，入睡困难和维持睡眠困难的十年效应观察到，这表明在两次测量时，年龄相同的人在 2006 年对这些睡眠问题的频率评价高于 1996 年。发现难以维持睡眠、难以重新入睡和早醒的频率会增加到 50 多岁，但随后保持相对稳定，或者在早醒的情况下，甚至会减少，直到 72 岁。在研究期间从活跃状态变为退休状态的 111 名个体中，早醒也显著改善。相比之下，入睡困难和催眠药物使用的评分频率在整个年龄范围内呈相当线性增加。
睡眠问题在工人的早期生活中就有报告，并且随着年龄的增长而更加频繁，但其中一些在退休后得到改善，特别是早醒的抱怨。
