This study identifies subgroups of older adults who are at greater risk of experiencing sleep deprivation as a result of social isolation and ACEs. Screening for ACEs and improving social participation could help address sleep deprivation in older adults.Jesmin Syeda...
and in turn, sleeplessness can worsen the pain. Age-related changes to your heart may increase the risk of developing heart disease. Just as sleep deprivation can pose a threat to heart health, heart problems can also disturb sleep.
A new study suggests that one night of partial sleep deprivation promotes biological aging in older adults. Results show that one night of partial sleep deprivation activatesgene expression patternsin peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) consistent with increasing accumulation of damage that initiate...
The analysis also found over 30% of adults reported an hour of sleep debt -— when you sleep less than your body needs — while nearly 1 in 10 adults had a sleep debt of two hours or more. Adults over 18 need at least 7 hours of solid sleep at night to be healthy,according to t...
39. Although the relation of long sleep duration to adverse health outcomes may be confounded by poor health conditions occurring in older adults37, the causal association of sleep deprivation with negative health effects is substantiated by experimental evidence providing biological plausibility24,40,41...
For all adults age 50 and older, having knownobstructive sleep apneaor its symptoms—as people often do not know they have the problem—wasassociated with a higher chance of having signs or a diagnosis of dementiain coming years. While the overall difference in those dementia diagnoses never ro...

A second aim was to examine if older adults, who may be less affected by both sleep deprivation and stress, react differently than young adults. 124 young (18-30 years) and 94 older (60–72 years) healthy adults participated in one of four conditions: i. normal night sleep & Placebo-...
following hypotheses: 1) greater OSA severity, particularly during REM sleep, is associated with impaired verbal learning and delayed recall and 2) that in significant associations, the relationships are stronger among older adults, women, and/or individuals with increased genetic and parental risk ...
Participants who could not be included in the analyses due to missing data (N = 1987) were older at recruitment to the study in 1985–1988 (45.4 vs 41.5 years,P < 0.001), and more likely to develop dementia over the follow-up (6.6% vs 4.0%,P < 0.001), although no ...
