Relationship between sleep pattern and bone mineral density in patients with osteoporotic fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence investigating sleep pattern in relation to bone health in elderly participants with osteoporosis remains sparse. We aimed to assess the relationship between sleep pattern incorporating five sleep characteristics (snoring, midnight waking up, insomnia, sleep duration, and daytime napping) and bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly participants with osteoporotic fracture.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted to include eligible elderly patients from the Department of Orthopedics who were admitted to hospital due to an osteoporotic fracture. Sleep pattern was constructed based on total sleep scores and categorized into healthy, intermediate, and poor pattern groups. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to assess sleep pattern in relation
