Sleep Duration and Sleep Quality as Predictors of Health in Elderly Individuals

Goran Sporiš

University of Zagreb, Croatia

he main purpose of the present study was to explore the

associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with self-

rated health. In this cross-sectional study, participants were 894

elderly individuals. Self-rated health, sleep duration, and sleep

quality were self-reported. The associations were examined

using multiple logistic regression analyses. After adjusting

for sex, physical activity, smoking consumption, alcohol

consumption, psychological distress, socioeconomic status, and

chronic disease/s, sleeping <6 h (OR (Odds ratio) = 3.21; 95% CI

(95 percent confident interval) 1.61 to 6.39), 6–7 h (OR = 2.47;

95% CI 1.40 to 4.36), 8–9 h (OR=3.26; 95% CI 1.82 to 5.83), and

>9 h (OR=3.62; 95% CI 1.57 to 8.34) and having ‘poor’ sleep

quality ( 5 points; OR=2.33; 95%CI 1.46 to 3.73) were associated

with ‘poor’ self-rated health. When sleep duration and sleep

quality were entered simultaneously into the model, the same

associations remained. Our findings provide evidence that both

‘short’ and ‘long’ sleep and ‘poor’ sleep quality are associated

with ‘poor’ self-rated health. Thus, interventions that promote

healthy sleep hygiene in the elderly are warranted.
