Differential effects of single versus combined cognitive and physical training with older adults: the SimA study in a 5-year perspective

The present study evaluates the eVect of cognitive training, of psychoeducational training and of physical training on cognitive functioning, physical functioning, physical health, independent living and wellbeing in older people. Also the combination of physical training with cognitive training or psychoeducational training, respectively, was evaluated. In contrast to most training studies with older people, training eVects were evaluated in a longitudinal perspective over 5 years to analyse long-term-results of cognitive and physical activity on older adults. Training eVects were evaluated compared to a no-treatment-control group. Subjects were 375 community residents aged 75-93 years. Up to 5 years after baseline examination, signiWcant training eVects were observed in the group exposed to the combined cognitive and physical training. The physical and cognitive status in the participants of this group could be preserved on a higher level compared to baseline, and the participants displayed fewer depressive symptoms than the notreatment-control group. The results are discussed in the light of recent research regarding the eVects of mental and physical activity on brain function in older adults.

Association between memory impairment and insomnia among older adults

Chronic insomnia and memory impairment are both common complaints among older adults. Even so, only a few studies to date have examined the effects of chronic insomnia on memory processes among older people, and the results of these studies are contradictory. Therefore, in the current study we examined whether late-life insomnia is associated with the memory status of older adults. The study population comprised two groups: 50 older adult subjects without sleep disorders, and 23 older adult insomniacs. Memory processing for each of the two groups was evaluated using the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT). The results demonstrate that chronic insomnia in older adults is associated with impairment in memory. Specifically, we found that older people suffering from late-life insomnia exhibit significantly reduced performance in learning rate and in temporal order judgment as well as significantly reduced resistance to proactive interference. The present findings suggest that late-life insomnia may be one of the factors contributing to the decline in memory processing seen among older people.

“…In the case of insomnia, age-related circadian rhythm shifts (Crowley, 2011) and higher rates of chronic disease (Foley et al, 2004;Vitiello, Moe, & Prinz, 2002) are important biological factors responsible for higher insomnia rates among older adults. Lifestyle alterations, such as retirement and diminished social contact, play psychological and environmental roles in the development of insomnia (Aschoff, Fatranska, Giedke, Doerr, Stamm, & Wisser, 1971;Benloucif et al, 2004;Endeshaw & Yoo, 2016;Naylor et al, 2000). Major findings underlying the biological foundations of normal age-related sleep changes will be reviewed next.…”

Sleep problems are pervasive among the United States population with insomnia being the most common sleep complaint among adults and older adults. Between 20 and 40 percent of older adults have symptoms of insomnia, which impacts quality of life, inflates healthcare costs, and is associated with a greater risk of chronic disease, comorbid mood disorders, and premature mortality. While pharmacotherapy offers immediate relief from insomnia, it is associated with adverse side effects and risks.Behavioral interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), have longer-term benefits and fewer side effects. However, the full CBT-I protocol is resource intensive and can be difficult to access. The present study examined the ability of a brief Internet-based sleep intervention, stimulus control therapy (SCT; N = 26), to effectively reduce symptoms of insomnia and improve mood in a sample of 46 adults aged 60 years and older compared to a sleep hygiene psychoeducation-only group (N = 20). Participants were recruited from community sources and completed telephone screens. Eligible participants watched a 20-minute video (SCT or sleep hygiene) online and completed three surveys across a one-month period (baseline, 1-week, and 1-month) about mood and sleep. Results revealed no significant group differences but rather decreases in both groups on sleepiness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep locus of control over time, as well as a group-time interaction for anxiety and stress. Findings imply that both sleep hygiene and SCT have equivalent efficacy and that minimal insomnia treatments may effectively treat comorbid insomnia and anxiety and depression.
