Purpose The aim of this study was to explore associations between objectively assessed physical fitness levels and sleep quality in community-dwelling elderly people in South China.Methods One thousand one hundred thirty-six (504 males and 632 females) community-dwelling adults aged 50years old in Dongguan City, South China, were included in the cross-sectional study. All the participants were asked to complete all prepared multi-instrument questionnaire, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Chinese version), for the assessment of the sleep quality and information regarding socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle, and physical health data. Physical fitness was measured by grip strength, one-leg standing test (OLST) with eyes open, back scratch test, and the forced vital capacity (FVC).Results The percentage of poor sleep quality among elderly people (50years old) was up to 18.2%. Lower FVC was associated with the poorer sleep quality (adjusted OR=0.74 per SD increase; P=0.009), and participants with lower performance in back scratch test were more likely to suffer poor sleep quality (adjusted OR=1.17 per SD increase; P=0.035). The independent contribution of physical fitness tests results on the risk of poor sleep quality was 22.1%.Conclusions Our results indicated that sleep quality was strongly associated with physical fitness among community-dwelling elderly people; the lower of the physical fitness predicted poorer sleep quality.
