大多数调查证实，老年人报告每晚睡眠约7小时。虽然睡眠结构确实会随着年龄的增长而变化，但大多数与年龄相关的睡眠结构变化发生在早期和中期。尽管如此，老年人失眠的发生率高于年轻人，但最常见的是与其他年龄相关的疾病，而不是年龄本身。老年人睡眠不佳的后果是巨大的，包括健康状况不佳，认知障碍和死亡率。睡眠困难与医学和精神科合并症显著相关，并且已发现多种医学状况的存在对睡眠质量有害。仔细的健康评估是必要的，以筛选出老年人的睡眠投诉和障碍。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Most Surveys confirm that older adults report sleeping about 7h a night. While sleep architecture does change with age, most age-related sleep architecture changes occur in early and mid-years. Nevertheless, the incidence of insomnia is higher in older adults than younger adults, but is most often associated with other age-related conditions, rather than age per se. The consequences of poor sleep in older adults are substantial and include poor health, cognitive impairment and mortality. Sleep difficulties are significantly associated with medical and psychiatric comorbiclities and the presence of multiple medical conditions has been found to be detrimental to sleep quality. Careful health assessment is necessary to screen out sleep complaints and disorders in older populations. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
