睡眠中的周期性腿部运动（PLMS）在老年人的睡眠中经常发生，但其意义尚不清楚。在这项研究中，63名老年人的失眠症状，但没有肾脏疾病史进行了多导睡眠图评估。所有人都接受了血尿素氮（BUN）和肌酐的实验室评估，并完成了睡眠投诉问卷。结果表明老年妇女PLMS与尿素氮呈正相关。此外，腿部抽搐和睡眠潜伏期延长的症状可以区分任意形成的高和低PLMS组。这些结果表明，PLMS可能是与年龄相关的肾功能下降的一个窗口，这些运动与老年失眠症的几个高度特异性的症状有关。
Periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) occur frequently in the sleep of elderly persons but their significance is unknown. In this study, 63 elderly persons with symptoms of insomnia but without history of renal disease were evaluated polysomnographically. All received laboratory evaluations for blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine and completed a questionnaire on sleep complaints. Results indicated a positive relationship between PLMS and urea nitrogen in elderly women. In addition, symptoms of leg twitching and prolonged sleep latency could distinguish arbitrarily formed high and low PLMS groups. These results suggest that PLMS could be a window on the age-related decline in renal function and that these movements are related to several highly specific symptoms of geriatric insomnia.
