International recommendations for sleep and circadian research in aging and Alzheimer's disease: A Delphi consensus study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Research in the field of sleep, aging, and dementia is rapidly growing. Consensus guidance is needed to facilitate high-quality research, comparability, and consistency.

Methods

A modified Delphi consensus study was conducted by the Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Professional Interest Area of the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART) and an international panel of experts to establish recommendations for future research.

Results

After two voting rounds, the group (1) determined by consensus the most relevant sleep and circadian features to assess in the context of aging and dementia research, (2) established recommendations on data acquisition and report for future studies, and (3) identified high-priority future direct
