Background: Poor sleep quality may contribute to sarcopenia, but evidence remains sparse. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the association between subjective sleep quality and probable sarcopenia in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults enrolled in the Longevity Check-Up 8+ study.
Methods: Participants were asked about their sleep quality over the past month, with four possible options ("very good", "quite good", "quite bad", very bad"). For the analysis, participants were grouped into good or bad sleep quality categories. Probable sarcopenia was operationalized according to handgrip strength values <27 kg for men and < 16 kg for women. Logistic regression models were used to explore the relationship between sleep quality and probable sarcopenia.
Results: 1971 participants were included in the analysis (mean age 73.4 ± 6.2 years, 50.0 % women). Bad sleep quality was reported by 28.3 % of participants and was more prevalent among women, physically inactive individuals, and those with dyslipidemia. Probable sarcopenia was more prevalent in participants with bad sleep quality (23.8 % vs. 18.7 %, p = 0.012). Logistic regression revealed that bad sleep quality was significantly associated with increased odds of probable sarcopenia in both unadjusted (odds ratio [OR] 1.36, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.07-1.72, p = 0.010) and fully adjusted models (OR 1.40, 95 % CI 1.08-1.81, p = 0.011).
Conclusions: Poor sleep quality is associated with increased likelihood of probable sarcopenia in older adults. This finding highlights the importance of addressing sleep quality in interventions aimed at preventing sarcopenia and promoting healthy aging.

Background: A large number of symptomatic individuals with central sleep apnea (CSA) in clinical practice have an indication for adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy.
Research Question: What are the effects of ASV therapy on sleep quality and PROMs in patients with CSA across a range of devices and indications.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study was conducted in France and enrolled participants from June 2017 to February 2020.

Nurses encounter many stressors and challenges at work, which can negatively affect their mental and physical health. Modern theories of resilience suggest that resilience is a dynamic process of positive adaptation to adversity. This process involves personal growth through adversity, developing effective coping strategies and inculcating the ability to cope with stress.

Sleep problems are common in Rett syndrome and other neurogenetic syndromes. Actigraphy is a cost-effective, objective method for measuring sleep. Current guidelines require caregiver-reported bed and wake times to facilitate actigraphy data scoring.
