The aim of this study was to examine gender-related differences in electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep in inpatients with psychotic disorders. We investigated the effects of gender and age as well as gender-by-age interactions on sleep continuity, architecture and intranight distributions in 38 male and 23 female patients with functional psychoses. No gender effects were seen for any sleep parameters. However, older psychotic males had less slow-wave sleep than older psychotic females. On the other hand, female psychotic patients showed a significant decline in automated REM counts with age. It is possible that gender-related differences in neurodevelopment and/or aging could account for these findings.
本研究的目的是检查精神病性障碍住院患者脑电图（EEG）睡眠方面的性别差异。我们调查了性别、年龄以及性别与年龄的交互作用对38例男性和23例女性功能性精神病患者睡眠连续性、睡眠结构及夜间分布的影响。未发现任何睡眠参数存在性别效应。然而，老年男性精神病患者的慢波睡眠比老年女性精神病患者少。另一方面，女性精神病患者的快速眼动（REM）自动计数随年龄增长显著下降。神经发育和/或衰老方面与性别相关的差异可能是这些研究结果的原因。
