This study identifies relationships among the quality of perceived social support and sleep problems and napping habits in community-dwelling elderly. This study is part of a larger multicenter project entitled "Frailty in Brazilian Elderly Individuals", conducted in 17 Brazilian cities. A total of 498 elderly individuals capable of participating in interviews and free of cognitive deficits or functional impairment were found. The following instruments were used in data collection: Questionnaire addressing socio-demographic data; Interpersonal Problemas de sueño y soporte social: estudio multicéntrico sobre Fragilidad en Ancianos BrasileñosEste artículo tiene como objetivo identificar relaciones entre calidad del soporte social percibido, problemas de sueño y hábito de dormitar, en ancianos de la comunidad. Se trata de un recorte del estudio Fragilidad en Ancianos Brasileños (FIBRA), proyecto multicéntrico desarrollado en 17 ciudades brasileñas. Participaron 498 ancianos, capaces de responder a las entrevistas, sin déficit cognitivo o funcional grave. Se adoptó para la recolección de datos: el Cuestionario Sociodemográfico; la Escala de Percepción de la Calidad del Soporte Social; preguntas sobre problemas de sueño (Perfil de Salud de Nottingham); y, preguntas sobre el hábito de dormitar (Minnesota Leisure Activity Questionnaire). Se utilizó estadística descriptiva y prueba de Mann-Whitney para tratamiento de los datos. Los ancianos que refirieron problemas de sueño en general, demorar en adormecer y dormir mal en la noche, presentaron puntajes inferiores a los de ancianos que negaban esos problemas, en la Escala de Percepción de Calidad de Soporte Social. Las estrategias para mejorar la calidad de soporte social podrían contribuir para minimizar los problemas de sueño.

“…This is in line with two recent studies showing better SQ in older participants. 28,29 As expected, alcohol dependent patients who were smokers and who had co-morbid drug use disorders had greater difficulty falling asleep. It is interesting to note that current suicidal ideation approached significance as an independent predictor of a disturbance of sleep continuity.…”

Insomnia in Alcohol Dependence: Predictors of Symptoms in a Sample of Veterans Referred from Primary Care

Objective-Patients with alcohol dependence presenting for treatment may have multiple associated co-morbid conditions and limited social supports, which complicate treatment. Each of these factors has been independently associated with complaints of insomnia. In this preliminary study, we investigated the relations between insomnia complaints and socio-demographic factors and psychiatric comorbidity in treatment-seeking patients with alcohol dependence.Method-We conducted a retrospective chart review on 84 consecutive patients referred to the Behavioral Health Laboratory of the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center for evaluation of psychiatric and substance use disorders. Patients met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for alcohol dependence and completed a series of self-assessments of sleep. Univariate and multivariable analyses were used to examine the relations amongst the variables of interest.Results-In multivariable models, Sleep Latency was significantly greater in individuals without partners (p = .01), those with psychiatric disorders (p = .03) and smokers (p = .01), with a nonsignificant trend for those with past-year suicidal ideation. No significant predictor of Wake Time After Sleep Onset was seen. Poor Sleep Quality was predicted by younger age (OR = .93 [.88, . 98], p = .004) and the presence of a psychiatric disorder (OR = 20.80 [4, 102], p = .0002), with a non-significant trend for suicidal ideation.Conclusions-Insomnia symptoms in treatment-seeking alcohol dependent patients should prompt consideration of the individuals' psychiatric and psychosocial features.

“…Third, there was no relation between age and daily disturbances, indicating that older adults did not report increased disruption to their daily lives as a result of poor sleep. This could be because older adults re-evaluate their expectations about how sleep impacts on their daily lives (Zilli et al, 2009), or they have reduced stressors and responsibilities, such as full-time work, study, and childrearing, compared to younger adults for whom the effects of poor sleep would, perhaps, be more pronounced.…”

“…One reason for such mixed findings could be that older people adjust their expectations about their sleep as they age (Buysse et al, 1991;Zilli, Ficca, & Salzarulo, 2009). Methodological issues might also explain these seemingly contradictory findings.…”

Controversy exists as to whether self-reported sleep quality declines with age, despite changes in sleep being accepted as part of normal aging. This study sought to investigate age-related differences in self-reported sleep quality, after controlling for conditions that are common with age, such as psychological symptoms and increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was administered to a sample of 582 community adults (aged 18-89 years), and the association between age and 3 factors of the PSQI (sleep efficiency, perceived sleep quality, and daily disturbance), and global scores, was examined controlling for depression, anxiety, stress, gender, and SDB risk. Results indicate that (a) before controlling for covariates, there was no significant relation between age and all indexes of self-reported sleep quality, with the exception of sleep efficiency. However, once depression, gender, and SDB risk were controlled for, a significant, yet small, relation was revealed between older age and poorer global sleep quality; (b) there was no association between age and perceived sleep quality or daily disturbances before or after controlling for relevant covariates; and (c) depression, gender, and SDB risk were significant predictors of poorer sleep quality across the indexes but, in general, did not have a marked impact on the relation between age and sleep quality. In conclusion, results suggest that sleep problems are common across the lifespan, and that there were modest age-related differences in self-reported sleep quality, which were not due to depressed mood, gender, or risk of SDB.
