Sleep trajectories and osteoporosis incidence: findings from two prospective cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most studies evaluate sleep quality at a single time point, and few have employed repeated measurements to investigate this association. This longitudinal research investigated changes in sleep quality patterns among older adults and examined their relationship with the onset of osteoporosis.

Methods

We analyzed data from two prospective cohorts: Participants comprised 4,328 individuals from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSA) and 9,132 from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Sleep quality was quantified using standardized sleep quality scores, and trajectories were determined based on baseline and follow-up assessments. Changes in sleep quality status were categorized to reflect persistent, improving, or deteriorating patterns. Associations be
