Worldwide prevalence of sleep problems in community-dwelling older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Sleep Med 2024; 119:118-134. [PMID: 38669835 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2024.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
The understanding of the prevalence of sleep problems in older adults can provide a broad and reliable perspective into the occurrence of such issues among older adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the worldwide prevalence of sleep problems in community-dwelling older adults. Studies that provide information on the prevalence of sleep problems in community-dwelling older adults (≥60 years) were screened between December 2022 and March 2023. A total of 20,379 studies were identified in database searches, from which 252 were included in this review. These studies covered the last 35 years (from 1988 to 2023) and pooled a sample of 995,544 participants from 36 countries. The most frequent sleep problem worldwide was obstructive sleep apnea (46.0%), followed by poor sleep quality (40.0%), other sleep problems (37.0%), insomnia (29.0%), and excessive daytime sleepiness (19.0%). No significant difference in the prevalence estimates of all sleep problems was observed between the sexes. This systematic review and meta-analysis showed a high prevalence of some sleep problems, mainly obstructive sleep apnea, poor sleep quality, and other sleep problems. Our estimates can be useful for managers and policymakers in planning healthcare strategies for sleep problems aimed at the older population.

Clocks Sleep 2024; 6:291-311. [PMID: 39051311 PMCID: PMC11270419 DOI: 10.3390/clockssleep6030021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Sleep is a vital process that impacts biological functions such as cell renewal, bone regeneration, and immune system support. Disrupted sleep can interrupt erythropoiesis, leading to fewer red blood cells, reduced haemoglobin concentration, and decreased haematocrit levels, potentially contributing to haematological disorders. This is particularly concerning for shift workers for example firefighters. While previous studies have explored sleep's adverse effects on various professions, research specific to firefighters is limited. This study investigates the relationship between sleep quality and haematological parameters among firefighters in Northeast Portugal. From a sample of 201 firefighters, variations in red blood cells, haemoglobin, and haematocrit values were linked to sleep quality. The study utilised non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney, Spearman's correlation) to explore the connection between sleep quality and haematological profile. The impact of covariates on haematological parameters was assessed using non-parametric ANCOVA (Quade's). A multiple regression analysis was employed to further understand how sleep quality and various confounding variables impact haematological levels. Findings suggest a negative link between sleep quality and haematological levels, meaning that as sleep quality deteriorates, there is a tendency for haematological levels to decrease, as indicated by Spearman's correlation (rRBC = -0.157, pRBC = 0.026; rHb = -0.158, pHb = 0.025; rHCT = -0.175, pHCT = 0.013). As observed in scientific literature, the correlation found suggests a possible inhibition of erythropoiesis, the process responsible for red blood cell production. Despite firefighters presenting a haematological profile within the reference range (RBC: 5.1 × 106/mm3 (SD ± 0.4), Hb: 15.6 g/dL (SD ± 1.3), 47% (SD ± 1.0), there is already an observable trend towards lower levels. The analysis of co-variables did not reveal a significant impact of sleep quality on haematological levels. In conclusion, this study underscores the importance of sleep quality in determining haematological parameters among firefighters. Future research should investigate the underlying mechanisms and long-term implications of poor sleep quality on firefighter health. Exploring interventions to enhance sleep quality is vital for evidence-based strategies promoting firefighter well-being.

Poor sleep quality and associated factors among adult chronic kidney disease patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1366010. [PMID: 38751978 PMCID: PMC11094326 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1366010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Poor sleep quality is a common concern in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, which can accelerate the progression of chronic renal disease and negatively impact their health-related quality of life, potentially leading to greater morbidity and mortality rates. It can also have an effect on the immune system, cognitive function, and emotional well-being of CKD patients. Furthermore, poor sleep quality may contribute to drug noncompliance and decreased participation in the entire treatment plan. Nonetheless, no research has been undertaken in Ethiopia on the prevalence of poor sleep quality and its associated factors among CKD patients. Objective This study aimed to assess the prevalence of poor quality of sleep and associated factors among chronic kidney disease patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals in 2020. Methods A cross-sectional study design was implemented at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospitals between February and April 2020. The study participants were chosen through systematic random sampling techniques. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a validated assessment tool, was utilized to measure sleep quality. A PSQI total score > 5 was used as an indicator of poor sleep quality. Subsequently, the data obtained were entered into Epi Data version 3.0 and then transferred to STATA 14 for analysis. Both bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to recognize factors associated with poor sleep quality. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, variables demonstrating a p-value of ≤0.05 were considered statistically associated to poor sleep quality. Results In this study, 424 CKD patients were included. Among screened CKD patients, 42.9% tested positive for poor sleep quality with a 95% CI (38 to 47%). Independent predictors of poor sleep quality among CKD patients were common mental disorder [AOR = 1.8, 95% CI (1.19-2.89)], anemia [AOR = 2.7, 95% CI (1.71-4.36)], declined eGFR between 60 and 89.9 [AOR = 1.6; 95% CI (2.28-5.54)], 30-59.9 [AOR = 2.6, 95% CI (1.53-4.43)], and ≤ 30 [AOR = 3.8, 95% CI (1.17-12.61)], age > 50 years [AOR = 1.7(1.11-2.69)] and duration of disease 2.9 [AOR = 2.9, 95% CI (1.77-4.90)]. Conclusion In our study, almost 1 out of 2 CKD patients assessed for poor sleep quality tested positive. It was noted that poor sleep quality was more frequent among CKD patients with common mental disorders, anemia, decreased eGFR levels, individuals aged over 50 years, and those with a longer duration of the disease. Consequently, it's advised to regularly screen these CKD patients for poor sleep quality.

Abstract
Background Anemia is linked to PM2.5 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of ⩽2.5 μm) exposure, which can increase the risk of various negative health outcomes. It remains unclear which PM2.5 components are associated with anemia and the respective contribution of each component to this association. Objective This study aimed at investigating the association between PM2.5 and anemia in the general population and to identify the most critical PM2.5 toxic components in this association. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods Our study involved a large cohort of 73,511 individuals aged 30-79 from China's multi-ethnic population. We employed satellite observations and the chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem)to estimate the long-term exposure to PM2.5 and its components. Anemia was defined, according to WHO guidelines, as Hb levels below 130 g/L for men and below 120 g/L for women. Through logistic regression, we investigated the association between PM2.5 components and anemia. By utilizing weighted quantile sum (WQS) analysis, we identified key components and gained insights into their combined impact on anemia. Overall, our study sheds light on the relationship between PM2.5 exposure, its constituents, and the risk of anemia in a large cohort. Results PM2.5 and three components, nitrate (NIT), organic matter (OM), and soil particles (SOIL), were associated with anemia. Per-standard deviation increase in the 3-year average concentrations of PM2.5 [odds ratio (OR): 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01, 1.28], NIT (1.20, 1.06, 1.35), OM (1.17, 1.04, 1.32), and SOIL (1.22, 1.11, 1.33) were associated with higher odds of anemia. In WQS regression analysis, the WQS index was associated with anemia (OR: 1.29, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.47). SOIL has the highest weight among all PM2.5 components. Conclusions Long-term exposure to PM2.5 and its constituents is associated with anemia. Moreover, SOIL might be the most critical component of the relationship between PM2.5 and anemia. Our research increases the evidence of the association between PM2.5 and anemia in the general population, and targeted emission control measures should be taken into consideration to mitigate the adverse effects of PM2.5-related anemia.

Abstract
Iron deficiency, the most common micronutrient deficiency in humans, is associated with long-term deficits in cognition and memory if left untreated. Infection with the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori has been linked to iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The H. pylori virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA) is proposed to be especially pertinent in iron deficiency. Male INS-GAS/FVB mice were infected with the CagA+ strain pre-murine Sydney strain 1 (PMSS1) for 12-13 or 27-29 weeks to investigate the role of chronic H. pylori infection in iron deficiency and neurological sequelae. Mice at both timepoints demonstrated significantly elevated gastric histopathology scores and inflammatory cytokines compared to sham-dosed controls. However, only mice at 27-29 weeks post infection had changes in hematological parameters, with significantly decreased erythrocyte count, hematocrit, serum hemoglobin, and increased serum total iron binding capacity. Gastric transcription of iron-regulatory genes Hamp and Bmp4 were significantly downregulated at both timepoints. In the brain, iron-dependent myelingergic and synaptic markers were significantly downregulated at 27-29 weeks. These results indicated that long-term infection of the CagA + PMSS1 strain of H. pylori in this study caused anemia, altered gastric iron homeostasis, and neurological changes similar to those reported in other rodent H. pylori CagA- strain infection models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sleep disorders including excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), insomnia and anemia are both common. The aim of this study is to investigate associations between anemia and insomnia/EDS in the elderly. METHODS A total of 744 older outpatients were included in this cross-sectional study. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin concentration below 12 g/dL in females and <13 g/dl in males. Patients were divided into two groups as anemic and non-anemic. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale score of ≥11 points indicates EDS. Insomnia Severity Index with scores of ≥8 indicates insomnia. RESULTS The mean age was 79.8±7.7 years. The prevalence of insomnia, EDS and anemia was 62.1%, 23.8%, and 47.2%, respectively. Insomnia (66.3% vs 58.5%) and EDS (29.6% vs 18.6%) were more common in patients with anemia compared to those without anemia (p<0.05). In univariate analysis, there were significant associations between anemia and insomnia [odds ratio (OR):1.4, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.0-1.9], and EDS (OR:1.8,95% CI:1.3-2.6). In multivariate analysis, the relationship between insomnia and nocturia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and number of drugs used persisted, whereas being male, of an older age, coronary arterial disease, COPD, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and urinary incontinence were associated with EDS (p<0.05), but there was no significant relationships between anemia and insomnia/EDS (p>0.05). CONCLUSION The present data suggests that an elderly who has anemia is 1.4 times more likely to experience insomnia and 1.8 times more likely to experience EDS than those without anemia.

Abstract
Anemia is frequently diagnosed in elderly patients, and it is a key indicator of many reactive and clonal conditions. Furthermore, the older age is the most common presenting age for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Anemia in older age may be attributed to an inflammatory state due to senescence, comorbidities, nutritional deficiencies, or primary bone marrow conditions. As diagnostic possibilities and life expectancy increase, the prevalence of anemia of the elderly increases as well. The etiology has a direct impact on the treatment and quality of life of these patients, in whom is a usual clinical challenge as it may be due to a multifactorial origin. In a minority group, when no etiology is identified, it is classified as unexplained anemia (UA) or clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS). The underlying cause of anemia remains unexplained in 30% of cases, and a great part of unexplained cytopenia may account for myeloid neoplasms. Anemia in the elderly is associated with worse cognitive and functional outcomes and increased mortality.

Abstract
Background Sleep disorders, the serious challenges faced by the intensive care unit (ICU) patients are important issues that need urgent attention. Despite some efforts to reduce sleep disorders with common risk-factor controlling, unidentified risk factors remain. Objectives This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for sleep disorders in ICU adults. Methods Data were retrieved from the MIMIC-III database. Matching analysis was used to match the patients with and without sleep disorders. A nomogram was developed based on the logistic regression, which was used to identify risk factors for sleep disorders. The calibration and discrimination of the nomogram were evaluated with the 1000 bootstrap resampling and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Besides, the decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate the clinical utility of the prediction model. Results 2,082 patients were included in the analysis, 80% of whom (n = 1,666) and the remaining 20% (n = 416) were divided into the training and validation sets. After the multivariate analysis, hemoglobin, diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, cardiovascular disease, and delirium were the independent risk predictors for sleep disorders. The nomogram showed high sensitivity and specificity of 75.6% and 72.9% in the ROC. The threshold probability of the net benefit was between 55% and 90% in the DCA. Conclusion The model showed high performance in predicting sleep disorders in ICU adults, the good clinical utility of which may be a useful tool for providing clinical decision support to improve sleep quality in the ICU.

Abstract
Background Several recent genome-wide association studies suggested insomnia and anemia may share some common genetic components. We thus examined whether adults with anemia had higher odds of having insomnia relative to those without anemia in a cross-sectional study and a meta-analysis. Methods Included in this cross-sectional study were 12,614 Chinese adults who participated in an ongoing cohort, the Kailuan Study. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin levels below 12.0 g/dL in women and 13.0 g/dL in men. Insomnia was assessed using the Chinese version of the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). A total AIS score ≥6 was considered insomnia. The association between anemia and insomnia was assessed using a logistic regression model, adjusting for potential confounders such as age, sex, chronic disease status, and plasma C-reactive protein concentrations. A meta-analysis was conducted using the fixed effects model to pool results from our study and three previously published cross-sectional studies on this topic in adult populations. Results Individuals with anemia had greater odds of having insomnia (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03–1.70) compared with individuals without anemia. A significant association persisted after we excluded individuals with chronic inflammation, as suggested by C-reactive protein levels >1 mg/L (adjusted OR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.22–2.32). The meta-analysis results, including 22,134 participants, also identified a positive association between anemia and insomnia (pooled OR: 1.39; 95% CI: 1.22–1.57). Conclusions The presence of anemia was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of having insomnia in adults. Due to the nature of the cross-sectional study design, results should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
Objectives: Although anemia is a widespread condition that leads to an increase in morbidity and mortality, particularly as people age, little information on anemia in centenarians is available. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and examine the relationship between anemia and a decline in kidney function in Chinese centenarians.Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of a sample of 1002 Chinese centenarians (180 men and 822 women) from 2014 to 2016. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin level of <130 g/L for men and <120 g/L for women.Results: The prevalence of anemia and severe anemia (<100 g/L) were 68.5% (men, 76.1%; women, 66.8%) and 19.6% (men, 16.1%; women, 20.3%), respectively. The risk of anemia and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) showed a nonlinear relationship (nonlinear P = 0.021). The interaction analysis revealed that ethnicity and diabetes mellitus played a role in the association between the eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and anemia.Conclusion: Anemia is highly prevalent in Chinese centenarians, particularly among men. Decreased kidney function was an independent determinant of anemia, especially in Han participants and participants with diabetes mellitus. The possibility of decreased kidney function needs to be considered in the evaluation and treatment of anemia in centenarians.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17093209. [PMID: 32380747 PMCID: PMC7246731 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17093209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Health effects of air pollution on anaemia have been scarcely studied worldwide. We aimed to explore the associations of long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants with anaemia prevalence and haemoglobin levels in Chinese older adults. METHODS We used two-level linear regression models and modified Poisson regression with robust error variance to examine the associations of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on haemoglobin concentrations and the prevalence of anaemia, respectively, among 10,611 older Chinese adults enrolled in World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) China. The average community exposure to ambient air pollutants (PM with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm or less (PM10), 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5), 1 μm or less (PM1) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) for each participant was estimated using a satellite-based spatial statistical model. Haemoglobin levels were measured for participants from dried blood spots. The models were controlled for confounders. RESULTS All the studied pollutants were significantly associated with increased anaemia prevalence in single pollutant model (e.g., the prevalence ratios associated with an increase in inter quartile range in three years moving average PM10 (1.05; 95% CI: 1.02-1.09), PM2.5 (1.11; 95% CI: 1.06-1.16), PM1 (1.13; 95% CI: 1.06-1.20) and NO2 (1.42; 95% CI: 1.34-1.49), respectively. These air pollutants were also associated with lower concentrations of haemoglobin: PM10 (-0.53; 95% CI: -0.67, -0.38); PM2.5 (-0.52; 95% CI: -0.71, -0.33); PM1 (-0.55; 95% CI: -0.69, -0.41); NO2 (-1.71; 95% CI: -1.85, -1.57) respectively. CONCLUSIONS Air pollution exposure was significantly associated with increased prevalence of anaemia and decreased haemoglobin levels in a cohort of older Chinese adults.
