Between 25% and 60% of subjects with dementia have shown sleep disturbances. Causes are diverse and seem to be related to factors such as aging, the presence of psychiatric diseases, or the consumption of drugs. This study aims to determine the influence of dementia on sleep quality and to analyze the factors that influence sleep quality in subjects ≥65 years. Thirty-one subjects were studied (15 living with dementia). PSQI was administered and statistical analysis compared the results among categories of other variables (age, gender, coffee consumption, drugs, BMI, psychiatric diseases). This study took place in Spain. A prevalence of 46.7% of sleep disturbances was found in subjects with dementia. No significant differences were observed in the total score obtained in the PSQI between the dementia group (6.06 ± 3.78 points) and the group without dementia (7 ± 5.65 points). A significant inverse relationship was found between the sleep quality and the number of daily drugs and the presence of psychiatric diseases. Poor sleep quality affects people with dementia, however, we cannot affirm that dementia is the cause of it. Consumption of daily drugs and psychiatric diseases are factors that influence the sleep quality in subjects aged ≥65 years.
25%至60%的痴呆症患者存在睡眠障碍。其原因多种多样，似乎与衰老、精神疾病的存在或药物使用等因素有关。本研究旨在确定痴呆症对睡眠质量的影响，并分析影响65岁及以上受试者睡眠质量的因素。研究了31名受试者（15名患有痴呆症）。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）进行评估，并通过统计分析比较了其他变量类别（年龄、性别、咖啡摄入量、药物、体重指数、精神疾病）之间的结果。本研究在西班牙进行。发现痴呆症患者中睡眠障碍的患病率为46.7%。痴呆症组（6.06±3.78分）和非痴呆症组（7±5.65分）在PSQI总分上未观察到显著差异。睡眠质量与每日药物服用数量和精神疾病的存在之间存在显著的负相关关系。睡眠质量差会影响痴呆症患者，然而，我们不能肯定痴呆症就是其原因。每日药物服用和精神疾病是影响65岁及以上受试者睡眠质量的因素。
