Original Source: Sleep disturbance and daytime sleepiness predict vascular dementia.
Background Disturbed sleep is common throughout the community and is associated with an increase in daytime sleepiness, both of which, in turn are associated with an increased risk of ischaemic vascular disease. The hypothesis that sleep disturbances are predictive of dementia, and in particular vascular dementia was tested in a large community-based cohort of older men. Methods A questionnaire on sleep disturbances was administered to 1986 men aged 55-69 years in the Caerphilly Cohort Study and 10 years la...
