Determinants of Change in Objectively Assessed Sleep Duration Among Older Men.

ABSTRACT: We examined potential risk factors for changes in objectively assessed sleep duration within a large sample of community-dwelling older men. Participants (n = 1,055; mean baseline age = 74.6 (standard deviation (SD), 4.7) years) had repeated ActiGraph assessments (ActiGraph LLC, Pensacola, Florida) taken at the baseline (2003-2005) and follow-up (2009-2012) waves of the Outcomes of Sleep Disorders in Older Men Study (an ancillary study to the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study conducted in 6 US communities). Among men with a baseline nighttime sleep duration of 5-8 hours, we assessed the odds of becoming a short-duration (<5 hours) or long-duration (>8 hours) sleeper at follow-up. The odds of becoming a short-duration sleeper were higher among men with peripheral vascular disease (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 6.54, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.30, 18.55) and ≥1 impairment in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) (aOR = 2.57, 95% CI: 0.97, 6.78). The odds of becoming a long-duration sleeper were higher among those with greater baseline age (per SD increment, aOR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.12, 2.00), depression symptoms (aOR = 3.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 9.36), and worse global cognitive performance (per SD increment of Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, aOR = 0.74, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.94). Peripheral vascular disease and IADL impairment, but not chronological age, may be involved in the etiology of short sleep duration in older men. The risk factors for long-duration sleep suggest that deteriorating brain health predicts elongated sleep duration in older men.

Project description:BackgroundSedentary behaviours (SB) are highly prevalent in young people and may be adversely associated with physical and mental health. Understanding of the modifiable determinants of SB is necessary to inform the design of behaviour change interventions but much of the existing research is cross-sectional and focussed upon screen-based behaviours.PurposeTo examine the social, psychological and environmental determinants of change in children's objectively measured sedentary time from age 11 to 14 years.MethodsData are from the second (2008) and third (2011) waves of assessment in the Sport, Physical Activity, and Eating Behaviour: Environmental Determinants in Young People (SPEEDY) study, conducted in the county of Norfolk, United Kingdom. Longitudinal data on accelerometer assessed sedentary time were available for 316 (53.5% female, 11.2±0.3 years at baseline) and 264 children after-school and at the weekend respectively. Information on 14 candidate determinants, including school travel mode and electronic media ownership, was self-reported. Change in the proportion of registered time spent sedentary was used as the outcome variable in cross-classified linear regression models, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index and baseline sedentary time. Simple and multiple models were run and interactions with sex explored.ResultsDaily sedentary time increased by 30-40 minutes after-school and at the weekend from baseline to follow-up. Participants who travelled to school by cycle exhibited smaller increases in after-school sedentary time (beta; 95%CI for change in % time spent sedentary: -3.3;-6.7,-0.07). No significant determinants of change in weekend sedentary time were identified.ConclusionsTime spent sedentary increased during the three-year duration of follow-up but few of the variables examined were significantly associated with changes in sedentary time. Children's mode of school travel may influence changes in their sedentary time over this period and should be examined further, alongside broader efforts to identify modifiable determinants of SB during childhood.
