Individuals 65 yr of age and older were randomly selected, from a primarily white upper-class population, to participate in a study of sleep disorders in elderly adults. Volunteers (145) had a brief telephone interview, a home interview, and a portable sleep recording using the Medilog and Respitrace systems. By research classifications, 18% of the elderly participants had sleep apnea (apnea index greater than 5), 34% had periodic movements in sleep (myoclonus index greater than 5) (PMS), and 10% had both sleep apnea and PMS. These were not clinical diagnoses. The home recording indicated that the individuals with PMS slept significantly less than other older adults.
