Sleep Duration Associated with Subjective Cognitive Decline: Influence of Age, Sex, Race and Ethnicity
Key Points
To investigate how sleep duration relates to subjective cognitive decline, focusing on factors like age, sex, race, and ethnicity.
Analyzed data from midlife adults
Examined the relationship between sleep duration and subjective cognitive decline
Considered factors such as age, sex, race, and ethnicity
Short sleep duration is more associated with cognitive decline in midlife adults
The association is particularly strong among Black and African American (B/AA) adults
Addressing sleep disparities may reduce the risk of subjective cognitive decline
Abstract
Short sleep duration is more strongly associated with subjective cognitive decline in midlife, particularly among B/AA adults. Addressing sleep disparities may help mitigate the risk of SCD.
