Article Synopsis
- Aging impacts sleep patterns, and this study explored the prevalence of sleep disorders in elderly individuals, particularly those aged 65 and older in nursing homes in Jeddah.
- A total of 313 participants were assessed using various validated questionnaires, revealing that the elderly had significantly higher risks of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) compared to younger individuals.
- The results indicated a high prevalence of poor sleep quality across both age groups, with significant associations found between insomnia, OSA, high body mass index, and poor sleep quality among the elderly.
