ペンシルベニア州立大学の研究によれば、インドの高齢者において、睡眠の質が低い人は、良質な睡眠をとっている人に比べて虚弱になるリスクが約3倍高いことが明らかになりました。特に、9時間以上の睡眠をとる男性は、推奨される7~8時間の睡眠をとる男性よりも虚弱である可能性が低いという、予想外の結果も示されています。一方、女性は推奨される睡眠時間を守ることで虚弱のリスクが低減するという一般的な傾向が確認されました。この研究は、睡眠の質と量が高齢者の健康、特に虚弱状態に大きく影響することを示唆しており、良質な睡眠が虚弱を予防または遅延させる可能性があるとしています。

Abstract

Introduction
Considering the significant growth in India’s aging population, it is imperative to identify risk factors associated with frailty among older Indians. However, there is limited studies that assessed the linkage between sleep and frailty in this population and it is focused on sleep disorder. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between sleep quality, sleep duration, and physical frailty among older Indian adults.

Methods
Data come from the World Health Organization’s Study on global AGEing and adult health (WHO-SAGE), India wave-2 (2013-14). The sample size comprised 6,512 older adults aged 50 years and above. Pre-frailty and frailty were assessed using the modified version of the frailty phenotype proposed by Fried and colleagues. Sleep was assessed by self-reported quality and duration. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the associations of sleep quality and duration with pre-frailty and frailty.

Results
A total of 66.7%, and 25.3% of older adults in our sample were pre-frail and frail, respectively. A higher prevalence of frailty was found among those with poor sleep quality (44.8%) and with short sleep duration (< 7 hours/night; 32.2%). Relative to peers with good sleep quality, the odds of frailty were significantly higher among older adults with poor sleep quality [AOR: 2.79; CI: 1.37–5.66]. And, notably, compared to those who enjoyed the recommended age-appropriate amount of sleep (7-8 hours), older adults with long sleep duration (≥ 9 hours) reported a significantly lower likelihood of both, pre-frailty [AOR: 0.73; CI: 0.57-0.93] and frailty [AOR: 0.68; CI: 0.51-0.91].

Conclusion
Our study found both sleep quality and quantity to be associated with pre-frailty and frailty among older Indians. Poor sleep quality may increase risk for frailty, yet long sleep duration may be a protective factor independent of the quality of sleep.
