Associations of sleep quality, quantity and nutrition in oldest-old men The Helsinki Businessmen Study (HBS).


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sleep quality and quantity often decline as people age, which may negatively impact health. We examined how nutrition is associated with self-reported sleep quality and quantity in oldest-old community-dwelling men.

Methods

In this cross-sectional analysis of the Helsinki Businessmen Study (HBS), a random sample of 130 surviving participants underwent a clinical examination in 2017-2018. Food and nutrient intakes were retrieved from 3-day food diaries in 126 men, and sleep quality and quantity were determined with a questionnaire. Nutritional status was assessed using Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), General Health and Vitality were measured with RAND-36/SF-36 health-related quality of life instrument, and albumin and creatinine levels were analyzed from fasting serum samples.

Results

Mean age of the survivors was 87 years (range 83-99). Self-reported sleep quality and quantity were highly correlated (p?2?=?0.693). Nutritional status (MNA-SF) (p?=?0.006, ?2?=?0.076), vegetable intake (p?=?0.030. ?2?=?0.041) and vitality (p?=?0.008, ?2?=?0.101) were associated with better sleep quality and fish (p?=?0.028, ?2?=?0.051) intake was associated with longer sleep duration. This association remained after adjusting for age, sleep quality, carbohydrate energy %, and albumin levels.

Conclusion

Healthy nutrition may be an important contributor to sleep hygiene in oldest-old men.
