Objectives: Our objectives were to test the hypothesis that, in the geriatric population, chronic airway obstruction is associated with a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances; to identify the main correlates of sleep disturbances, and to verify whether asthma and COPD patients have different patterns of sleep disturbances.Methods: The EPESE questionnaire was administered to 734 patients aged 65 years and over with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (cases) and 1237 individuals of comparable age who were free of respiratory disease but not of other chronic conditions (controls). Four sleep disturbances were quantified: difficulty in falling asleep, nocturnal awakening, morning tiredness, and early awakening. Multidimensional assessment of demographic data, personal history, clinical, and functional status was performed. Independent correlates of sleep disturbances were identified by logistic regression analysis.Results: One or more sleep disturbances were reported by 445 cases and 697 controls (60.6% vs. 56.4%, ns). Morning tiredness and early awakenings were more prevalent among cases (38% vs. 27.8%, p
