Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between sleep quality and cognitive function in elderly patients with sleep disorders. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 145 elderly patients with sleep disorders (elderly sleep disorder group) and 111 elderly subjects without sleep disorders (non-sleep disorder group). The general data, scores and positive rates of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were compared between the two groups. The correlation between sleep disorder and cognitive function was analyzed by Pearman correlation coefficient, and binary Logistic regression analysis was established to analyze whether sleep disorder was an independent risk factor affecting the cognitive dysfunction of elderly patients. Results The scores of MMSE scale and MoCA scale in elderly sleep disorder group were significantly lower than those in non-sleep disorder group (P<0.05), and the positive rates of MMSE and MoCA were significantly higher than those in non-sleep disorder group (P<0.05). According to Pearman correlation coefficient analysis, sleep disorder in elderly patients was negatively correlated with positive MMSE and positive MoCA (r=-0.658, -0.712, P<0.001). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that sleep disorder was an independent risk factor affecting the cognitive function of elderly patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Sleep disorder in elderly patients has a certain correlation with cognitive function, and it is an independent risk factor affecting the cognitive function in elderly patients.
