“…In this meta-analysis depression was associated with subjective sleep disturbances, aspect corroborated by past studies (e.g., Dzierzewski et al, 2015;Maglione et al, 2012;Orhan et al, 2012;Park et al, 2013;Potvin, Lorrain, Belleville, Grenier, & Préville, 2014;Rashid & Tahir, 2015). Given the role of depression on the subjective sleep quality, depression treatment should focus on both mental health and sleep quality (Buysse, 2004;Yao, Yu, Cheng, & Cheng, 2008).…”

The literature emphasizes depression and poor sleep quality as problems that affect many elderly individuals. However, these problems have been related in few studies and there is no meta-analysis performed so far on this relationship. The present research reviewed the studies performed on the subjective sleep quality in order to understand how it relates to depression in older adults. The review was conducted in January 2016 and comprised publications between 2005 and 2015. Based on the electronic databases Web of Science and EBSCO, we used the keywords 'sleep quality', 'depression', and 'older' to identify the empirical studies performed. After assessing the collected studies, we selected those that presented the elderly as participants, resulting in nine papers (N = 3069). A random-effects method was used to evaluate the relationship between depression and sleep. We found that an older person's lack of good sleep quality is significantly related with depression. The main limitation of this study was the difficulty in collecting a greater number of studies. Future research should consider the importance of additional variables (e.g. moderators) in order to understand and investigate viable interventions for prevention and health promotion in the elderly.

“…A previous meta-analysis verified that depression was associated with subjective sleep disturbances ( r0 = .42, p < .001; Becker, Jesus, João, Viseu, & Martins, 2016), as well as other works (Dzierzewski et al, 2015, Maglione et al, 2012, Potvin et al, 2014, Rashid and Tahir, 2015). Thus, sleep quality was considered an important variable influencing depression and other variables, such as life quality.…”

Background/Objective: Sleep insufficiency, which affects more than 45% of the world's population, has a great importance when considering older adults. Thus, this research tested a mediation hypothesis, through a path analysis, which explains how depression relates to the quality of life considering the effects of sleep quality in older adults. Method: A sample of 187 community-dwelling Portuguese older adults answered questionnaires about sociodemographic status (age, gender, highest level of education completed, family status, sports activities, health, and retirement status), quality of life, sleep quality, and depression. Descriptive and path analysis statistics were performed considering the results of the normality test. Results: The sample has health characteristics and presents adequate sleep duration. Sleep quality acted as a mediator between depression and the quality of life in older adults, considering the variation of gender and health. This suggests that it is important to establish self-care practices, namely sleep quality, to intervene in the ageing process. Conclusions: It is important to consider sleep quality associated with depression for older adults and to test interventions to minimize health impacts. Also, more researches are needed about the primary prevention in sleep quality relating to depression.

“…The dataset was subjected to LCA using twelve variables which includes daytime sleepiness, daytime fatigue, worry about sleep, negative thoughts before sleep onset, sleep initiation problem, sleep maintenance problem, early morning awakening, feeling of worthlessness, sleep time variability, association of bed with purposes other than sleep/sex, arousals during sleep (dichotomous levels) and daytime impairments (dichotomous levels). Latent class analysis has been widely used in many sleep-related studies to subgroup the population based on their sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep difficulty and insomnia symptoms [ [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] ].…”
