Hyperkyphosis and self-reported and objectively measured sleep quality in older men.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Hyperkyphosis is associated with restricted pulmonary function and posture, potentially contributing to poor sleep. A previous study reported older women with hyperkyphosis had worse self-reported sleep quality, but it is less clear if this association exists in men. We examined the association between hyperkyphosis and subjective and objective sleep quality in a cohort of older men.

Design

Longitudinal analysis of data from large cohort of older men participating in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS).

Setting

Community.

Participants

We studied 754 men participants in MrOS who had kyphosis measured during the 3rd clinic visit (2007-2009) and future subjective and objective sleep quality assessed between 2009-2012 (an average of 2.9 years
