Bidirectional associations between physical activity and sleep in older adults: a multilevel analysis using polysomnography.

ABSTRACT: Although recent studies have examined the bidirectional associations between physical activity and sleep parameters, few have focused on older adults utilizing objective assessments, such as polysomnography. This micro-longitudinal observational study included 92 Japanese older adults (aged 65-86 years) who underwent objective evaluations of sleep quality using polysomnography and completed subjective sleep-related questionnaires. Activity levels were assessed using an accelerometer. Polysomnography, subjective sleep-related questionnaires, and accelerometer were administered for 7 consecutive days. Multilevel models (participant-, day-level) were used to examine the temporal associations of objective and subjective sleep parameters with sedentary behavior and physical activity. In the day-level analysis, higher levels of sedentary behavior during daytime were associated with longer rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, shorter REM latency, lower levels of non-REM sleep (stage N3), and reduced delta power during daytime. Higher levels of low-intensity physical activity during daytime were associated with lower levels of REM sleep, longer REM latency, and increased stage N3 sleep in the day-level analysis. Higher levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were associated with increased REM latency. Longer subjective sleep time was associated with increased next-day moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Thus, low-intensity physical activity may provide objective benefits related to deep sleep parameters in older adults.

Project description:ObjectivesTo describe aerobic physical activity among middle-aged and older adults by their self-reported cognitive decline and their receipt of informal care for declines in cognitive functioning and most common type of physical activity.DesignCross-sectional study using data from the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.SettingLandline and cellular telephone survey.Participants93,082 respondents aged 45 years and older from 21 US states in 2011.MeasurementsSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) was defined as experiencing confusion or memory loss that was happening more often or getting worse during the past 12 months. Regular care was defined as always, usually, or sometimes receiving care from family or friends because of SCD. Using the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, respondents were classified as being inactive, insufficiently active, or sufficiently active based on their reported aerobic exercise. We calculated weighted proportions and used chi-square tests for differences across categories by SCD status and receipt of care. We estimated the prevalence ratio (PR) for being inactive, insufficiently active, and sufficiently active using separate log-binomial regression models, adjusting for covariates.Results12.3% of respondents reported SCD and 23.1% of those with SCD received regular care. 29.6% (95%CI: 28.9-30.4) of respondents without SCD were inactive compared to 37.1% (95%CI: 34.7-39.5) of those with SCD who did not receive regular care and 50.2% (95%CI: 45.2-55.1) of those with SCD who received regular care. 52.4% (95%CI: 51.6-53.2) of respondents without SCD were sufficiently active compared to 46.4% (95%CI: 43.8-49.0) of respondents with SCD and received no regular care and 30.6% (95%CI: 26.1-35.6) of respondents with SCD who received regular care. After adjusting for demographic and health status differences, people receiving regular care for SCD had a significantly lower prevalence of meeting aerobic guidelines compared to people without SCD (PR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.69-0.93, p=0.005). The most prevalent physical activity was walking for adults aged ≥ 45 years old (41-52%) regardless of SCD status or receipt of care.ConclusionOverall, the prevalence of inactivity was high, especially among people with SCD. These findings suggest a need to increase activity among middle-aged and older adults, particularly those with SCD who receive care. Examining ways to increase walking, potentially by involving informal caregivers, could be a promising way for people with SCD to reduce inactivity and gain the health benefits associated with meeting physical activity guidelines.

Project description:BackgroundMultimorbidity and sleep disorder possess high incidence rates in the middle-aged and older people populations, posing a significant threat to quality of life and physical and mental health. However, investigators have previously only analysed the unidirectional association between sleep status and multimorbidity. We aimed to investigate bidirectional associations between sleep quality or duration and multimorbidity in middle-aged and older Chinese adults from a longitudinal perspective.MethodWe enrolled a total of 9823 participants 45 years and older from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2015 to 2018 in our study. Multimorbidity was defined as two or more coexisting chronic diseases in the same individual based on 14 self-reported disease questions. Sleep quality was classified as "good" (restless < 1 day per week) and "poor" (restless ≥ 1 days per week); and sleep duration was divided into short (< 6 h), medium (6-9 h), and long (> 9 h). The bidirectional association between multimorbidity and sleep condition was examined using multivariate logistic regression models with adjustments for covariates.ResultsIndividuals with poor sleep quality showed a significantly higher prevalence of multimorbidity in the future. The adjusted OR (95% CI) values of individuals with poor sleep quality with respect to developing two diseases, three diseases, and ≥ 4 diseases were 1.39 (1.19, 1.63), 1.56 (1.23, 2.03), and 2.36 (1.68, 3.33), respectively. In addition, individuals with multimorbidity exhibited a significantly higher risk of poor sleep quality in the future. Short sleep duration led to multimorbidity in the future (OR = 1.49; 95 CI%, 1.37-1.63), while multimorbidity contributed to short sleep duration (< 6 h) in the future (OR = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.27-1.51) after full adjustment.ConclusionsThere was a bidirectional association between sleep quality or short sleep duration and multimorbidity in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. We recommend that greater attention be given to clinical management among adults with sleep disorders or physical multimorbidities.

Project description:To develop healthy ageing interventions, longitudinal associations between objectively assessed physical behaviours and physical function need to be better understood. We assessed associations between accelerometer-assessed total physical activity (PA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), sedentary time and prolonged sedentary bout time, and clinically assessed physical function (grip strength, usual walking speed (UWS), chair stand speed) at two time-points in 3188 participants (≥ 60 years) of the EPIC-Norfolk study. Bidirectional associations were assessed using multivariable linear regression. Over an average of 6.1 years, baseline physical behaviours (greater total PA, MVPA and LPA, and less sedentary time) were associated with better subsequent walking and chair stand speed. Better baseline physical function was associated with better follow-up physical behaviours. There were no bidirectional associations between changes in physical behaviours and grip strength. Improvements in UWS were associated with improvements in all physical behaviours. Improvements in chair stand speed were associated with improvements in total PA, MVPA, and sedentary bout time. Improvements in physical behaviours were associated with improvements in UWS (3.1 cm/s/yr per 100 cpm/yr total PA, 3.6 cm/s/yr per hr/day/yr MVPA, 2.5 cm/s/yr per hr/day/yr LPA, - 2.9 cm/s/yr per hour/day/yr sedentary time, and - 1.6 cm/s/yr per hr/day/yr prolonged sedentary bout time). Only improvements in total PA, MVPA and sedentary bout time were associated with improvements in chair stand speed. In conclusion, we found bidirectional associations between changes in some physical behaviours and physical function and between baseline physical behaviours and subsequent physical function, highlighting the importance of considering the full range of physical behaviours to promote healthy ageing.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10433-022-00733-y.
