Race and sex differences in the longitudinal changes in multidimensional self-reported sleep health characteristics in aging older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We examined within-individual changes in self-reported sleep health as community-dwelling older adults age as well as potential differences in these changes by self-reported sex and racial identity.

Methods

Participants were from the United States and enrolled in the Rush Memory and Aging Project, Minority Aging Research Study, or Religious Orders Study (N = 3539, 20% Black, 75% female, mean 78years [range 65-103]), and they received annual, in-person clinical evaluations (median 5 visits [range 1-27]). A sleep health composite score measured the number of poor sleep characteristics among satisfaction, daytime sleepiness, efficiency, and duration. Mixed effects models estimated associations of age, race, sex, and their interactions on the composite and individual
