To assess sleep quality and sleepiness among older adults after social distancing during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with physical activity. The present cross-sectional study included a sample of 290 Brazilians aged ≥ 60 years. Subjective sleep quality and sleepiness were assessed using the Mini-Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Of the 290 participants, 29.7% reported worsening sleep quality during the pandemic, with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) MSQ score of 31.6 ± 8.8. Worsening of the perceived sleep quality during the pandemic and previous COVID-19 diagnoses were associated with higher MSQ scores ( < 0.001 and = 0.013 respectively). Physical inactivity was not associated with sleep quality but was associated with sleepiness ( = 0.030). It is important to develop strategies that encourage physical activity, among other modifiable health factors, to help improve sleepiness among older adults.
评估2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间社交距离措施实施后老年人的睡眠质量和嗜睡情况及其与身体活动的关联。 本横断面研究纳入了290名年龄≥60岁的巴西人样本。使用迷你睡眠问卷（MSQ）和爱泼华嗜睡量表（ESS）评估主观睡眠质量和嗜睡情况。 在290名参与者中，29.7%报告在大流行期间睡眠质量恶化，MSQ评分的均值±标准差（SD）为31.6±8.8。大流行期间感知睡眠质量的恶化以及先前的COVID-19诊断与较高的MSQ评分相关（分别为<0.001和=0.013）。身体不活动与睡眠质量无关，但与嗜睡有关（=0.030）。 制定鼓励身体活动以及其他可改变的健康因素的策略，对于帮助改善老年人的嗜睡情况很重要。
