背景：睡眠中的周期性肢体运动（PLMS）是老年人日益普遍的障碍。本实验的目的是：（a）描述睡眠中周期性肢体运动的指数（肌阵挛指数[MI]），在有睡眠不好或抑郁症主诉的老年受试者中（N= 22; 68 ± 5.5SD岁）;和（B）将MI与睡眠史、抑郁评分以及睡眠的客观和主观指数相关联。受试者之间，平均MI和睡眠史，抑郁评分，客观和主观的睡眠特征之间的非参数相关性进行了检查。采用重复测量ANCOVA检验受试者内MI的夜间变异性、客观变量和主观变量之间的相关性，将MI作为协变量输入。结果：发现MI的水平非常高（平均每小时25.8起事件; 86%的受试者> 5起）。然而，MI和睡眠障碍measurements.Conclusion.这些结果扩展了以前的报告，PLMS是非常有说服力的老年志愿者和支持其他报告质疑是否有一个独特的PLMS综合征之间没有关联。
Background.Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) are an increasingly pervasive disturbance for aging adults. The aims of this experiment were: (a) to describe the index of periodic limb movements in sleep (myoclonus index [MI] in elderly subjects with complaints of poor sleep or depression (N= 22; 68 ± 5.5SDyears); and (b) to correlate MI with sleep history, depression scores, and objective and subjective indices of sleep.Method.Sleep and leg movements were assessed for 5 consecutive nights. Between-subjects, nonparametric correlations were examined between mean MI and sleep history, depression scores, and objective and subjective sleep characteristics. Associations among within-subject night-to-night variabilities of MI, objective, and subjective variables were examined with repeated measures ANCOVA, entering MI as a covariate.Results.A remarkably high level of MI was found (median 25.8 events per hour; 86% of subjects > 5). Nevertheless, no associations were found between MI and sleep disturbance measures.Conclusion.These results extend previous reports that PLMS are remarkably persuasive in elderly volunteers and support other reports questioning whether there is a distinct PLMS syndrome.
