We investigated the association between sleep problems and global self-rated health (SRH) in individuals aged ≥50 years in Ghana and explored the sex-wise mediating role of pain interference in this association. Data from the Aging, Health, Psychological Well-being, and Health-seeking Behavior Study were analyzed (N=1201). Global SRH and pain interference were assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study (Short Form-36) Scale. Sleep-related problems were assessed on a 5-point scale from none=1 to extreme=5. Adjusted OLS regressions and bootstrapped mediation models evaluated the hypothesized associations. The mean (SD) age was 66.1 (11.9) years and 63.3 % were females. Sleep problems were associated with increases in pain interference (β = 0.320, p < 0.001) and poor SRH (β = 0.039, p < 0.001). Pain interference mediated 61.6% of the sleep problems-SRH association in the overall sample (β =0.063, Bootstrap 95%CI=0.014-0.034) and 36.7% among women (β =0.023, Bootstrap 95%CI=0.023-0.053). Effective sleep and pain management strategies may improve subjective health outcomes, particularly among older women.
我们调查了加纳50岁及以上人群睡眠问题与整体自评健康状况(SRH)之间的关联,并探讨了疼痛干扰在这种关联中按性别划分的中介作用。对衰老、健康、心理健康和求医行为研究的数据进行了分析(N = 1201)。使用医学结果研究(简表36)量表评估整体SRH和疼痛干扰情况。睡眠相关问题采用从无=1到极端=5的5分量表进行评估。调整后的普通最小二乘法回归和自抽样中介模型评估了假设的关联。平均(标准差)年龄为66.1(11.9)岁,女性占63.3%。睡眠问题与疼痛干扰增加(β = 0.320,p < 0.001)和SRH不佳(β = 0.039,p < 0.001)相关。在整个样本中,疼痛干扰介导了睡眠问题与SRH关联的61.6%(β = 0.063,自抽样95%置信区间= 0.014 - 0.034),在女性中为36.7%(β = 0.023,自抽样95%置信区间= 0.023 - 0.053)。有效的睡眠和疼痛管理策略可能会改善主观健康结果,尤其是在老年女性中。
