Key result
Aging is associated with a decline in autonomic-central coupling during daytime sleep.
Why the study?
Does autonomic central coupling during daytime sleep differ between older and younger people?
Does autonomic central coupling during daytime sleep differ between older and younger people?
The study demonstrates that autonomic-central coupling declines with age, highlighting a potential new area of focus for understanding pathological aging.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet change geriatric sleep assessment; leaves open whether coupling decline contributes to pathological aging.
. Taken together, our results demonstrate that autonomic-central coupling declines with age. Pathological aging implicates independent roles for decreased autonomic and central nervous system functioning, the current findings suggest that the coupling of these systems may also deserve attention.
