一项研究发现,老年人过长时间的日间睡眠可能增加老年痴呆前综合症的风险。 A study finds excessive daytime sleepiness in older adults may raise the risk of pre-dementia syndrome.
《神经学》杂志的一项研究将老年人过度的日间睡眠与运动认知风险综合症(MCR)的更大风险联系起来,该综合症是一种以慢步行走和记忆问题为特征的痴呆前病症。 A study in the journal Neurology links excessive daytime sleepiness in older adults to an increased risk of motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome, a pre-dementia condition marked by slow walking and memory issues. 在日间睡眠和情绪低迷的参与者中,35.5%的人发育了MCR,而没有这些症状的参加者为6.7%。 Among participants with daytime sleepiness and low enthusiasm, 35.5% developed MCR, compared to 6.7% without these symptoms. 研究强调,必须及早筛查睡眠问题,以防止认知下降,尽管因果关系仍未得到证明。 The research highlights the need for early screening of sleep issues to potentially prevent cognitive decline, although causation remains unproven.
