Association between midday napping and long-term trajectories of cognitive function among middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of dementia has become an increasingly important public health priority. This study investigated the association between midday napping and long-term trajectories of cognitive function in middle-aged and older Chinese adults.

Methods

Among 4648 participants aged 45+ years extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The components of the Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status battery (TICS-10) was used to assess cognitive function. Group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM) was used to identify long-term trajectories of cognitive function. Multinomial logistic regression model was used to estimate risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Three distinct long-term trajectories of cognitive funct
