This article elucidates on sleep quality characterization and its associated factors among the Chinese elderly in the rural areas of Anhui province. We conducted a questionnaire survey on 2700 elderly individuals, from whom we obtained 2416 valid responses. The sleep quality, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and functional status of the subjects were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Short Form-36 (SF-36), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scales. Body Mass Index (BMI) was obtained by measuring the height and weight of the subjects. The results showed that 49.7% of the participants slept poorly. Binary logistic regression analysis indicated that chronic disease, advanced age, low quantities of staple food (g), rice as major food, poor Physical Component Summary (PCS), poor Mental Component Summary (MCS), and significant dysfunction of ADL were predictors for poor sleep quality. However, no association was found between BMI and sleep quality. As half of the rural elderly in China were found to suffer from poor sleep quality, comprehensive measures should be undertaken to improve this situation.
本文阐述了安徽省农村老年人的睡眠质量特征及其相关因素。我们对 2700 名老年人进行了问卷调查，从中获得了 2416 份有效回复。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）、36 项简短健康状况调查量表（SF-36）和日常生活活动（ADL）量表评估了受试者的睡眠质量、与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）和功能状态。通过测量受试者的身高和体重获得体重指数（BMI）。结果表明，49.7%的参与者睡眠质量差。二元逻辑回归分析表明，慢性病、高龄、主食（克）摄入量低、以大米为主食、生理成分综合评分（PCS）差、心理成分综合评分（MCS）差以及日常生活活动明显功能障碍是睡眠质量差的预测因素。然而，BMI 与睡眠质量之间没有关联。由于中国一半的农村老年人睡眠质量差，应采取综合措施改善这种情况。
