Daytime sleepiness is associated with 3-year incident dementia and cognitive decline in older Japanese-American men
Article Abstract:
Daytime sleepiness has been found to be associated with 3-year incident dementia and cognitive decline in Japanese-American men aged 71-93 in a study in Honolulu after adjusting for age and other factors. Insomnia was not associated with cognitive decline/dementia. In the study 2,346 men were screened negative for prevalent dementia at baseline, then screened in a 3-yr follow-up examination.
