Organized Social Activity, Physical Exercise, and the Risk of Insomnia Symptoms Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Journal of Aging and Health 2017 December 2
OBJECTIVES: To compare the risk of insomnia symptoms among community-dwelling older adults who participated and did not participate in organized social activity and physical exercise.
DESIGN: Secondary data analysis of a prospective cohort study.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Community-dwelling older adults ≥65 years of age with no insomnia symptoms at baseline were included in the study. Participants were followed up yearly for 3 years. Insomnia symptoms, social activity, and physical exercise status of study participants were assessed at baseline and during follow-up.
RESULTS: Study participants who reported engaging in organized social activity and low-intensity physical exercise and organized social activity and high-intensity physical exercise were less likely to report insomnia symptoms during follow-up compared with those who did not engage in any activity.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest beneficial effect of organized social activity and physical exercise in maintaining sleep quality in old age.
