Abstract
[Abstract] The current study sought to determine the association of sleep with HRQOL and physical
function among older nursing home residents. Participants were 37 older adults attending or
residing in a semi-urban nursing-home facility in Galicia, Spain (70.3% cognitively normal, 29.7%
cognitively impaired, aged 84.1±8.0, 81.1% women) who completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index (PSQI), the 5-level EuroQol-5D, a measure of HRQOL, and the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for Sleep, a measure of physical functional. After
adjustment for age, poor (PSQI score ≤ 14) and/or worse sleep quality (continuous PSQI score) was
associated with several indices of lower HRQOL, including greater immobility (b = 0.19, p = 0.012)
difficulty completing self-care (b = 0.23, p < 0.001) and daily activities (b = 0.18, p = 0.004), more
severe anxiety/depression (b = 0.10, p = 0.042), and a lower overall health index (b = 0.06, p = 0.001).
Further, poor/worse sleep quality was associated with several indices of functional impairment,
including greater difficulty maintaining body position (b = 0.32, p = 0.004), walking (b = 0.17, p =
0.001), and moving around (b = 0.45, p = 0.009).
