To compare the occurrence of sleep complaints among senior citizens resident in the local communities of two municipalities with differing Human Development Indices (HDIs): Campinas, State of São Paulo (IDH = 0.852) and Parnaíba, State of Piauí (IDH = 0.674).
Descriptive study as part of the multicentric project going by the name of Frailty among Brazilian Senior Citizens (Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros--FIBRA). A total of 988 senior citizens were analysed, making use of a social and demographic questionnaire about sleep problems (Nottingham Health Profile); questions about naps (Minnesota Leisure Activity Questionnaire). The Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney tests were used in the analysis of the data, at a significance level of 5% (p<0.05).
The chronologically advantaged individuals in Parnaíba showed a higher incidence of sleep complaints when compared to the senior citizens of Campinas. There was a significant association between municipality and the following variables: number of sleep complaints, non-restoring sleep, precocious awakening, difficulty in falling and staying asleep.
The nursing staff must intervene in favour of the promotion of health with actions that either reduce or prevent these sleep-related problems.
比较居住在人类发展指数（HDI）不同的两个城市当地社区的老年人睡眠问题的发生率：圣保罗州坎皮纳斯市（人类发展指数 = 0.852）和皮奥伊州帕尔纳伊巴市（人类发展指数 = 0.674）。
作为名为巴西老年人虚弱状况（Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros--FIBRA）的多中心项目的一部分进行描述性研究。共分析了988名老年人，使用了一份关于睡眠问题的社会和人口统计学问卷（诺丁汉健康概况）；关于午睡的问题（明尼苏达休闲活动问卷）。在数据分析中使用卡方检验和曼-惠特尼检验，显著性水平为5%（p<0.05）。
与坎皮纳斯市的老年人相比，帕尔纳伊巴市年龄较大的个体睡眠问题发生率更高。城市与以下变量之间存在显著关联：睡眠问题数量、睡眠无恢复感、过早醒来、入睡和保持睡眠困难。
护理人员必须采取行动减少或预防这些与睡眠相关的问题，以促进健康。
