Association Between Internet Use and Sleep Health Among Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Individuals: Nationwide Longitudinal Study (Preprint)

Published: Jan. 9, 2025

Sleep disorders are common among older adults and have a bidirectional impact on their emotional well-being. While some studies suggest that internet use may offer mental health benefits to this population, the relationship between sleep outcomes remains underexplored.

Association between sleep duration and disability in activities of daily living among Chinese older adults: a nationwide observational study

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: May 21, 2025

This study aims to explore the relationship between sleep duration and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) disability among older adults in China. ADL severely impacts quality life is associated with various physical mental health issues. With aging population China, burden increasing. Data were sourced from 2018 national follow-up Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), including 9,572 participants aged 65 above. Sleep was assessed via self-reported questionnaire categorized into short (<7 h), medium (7-8 long (≥9 h). evaluated through Basic Activities (BADL) Instrumental (IADL). Logistic regression models used analyze disability, subgroup analyses conducted differences by gender activity. The found a significant non-linear disability. Compared 7-8 h, those over 9 h had significantly higher risk BADL IADL (OR = 1.36, OR 1.35). Subgroup indicated that this existed different genders, age, activity levels. For maintaining may be an effective strategy for preventing Both excessively are increased population.
