Study suggests sleep deprivation may aggravate frailty s effects on mental health in older adults ANI | Updated: Feb 07, 2021 17:16 IST
Washington [US], February 7 (ANI): A new study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society that examined their combined effect of sleep deprivation and frailty suggests that short sleep intensifies the impacts of frailty on depressive symptoms.
Among 5,026 community-dwelling older adults in China, participants who were frail at the start of the study were more likely to later develop depressive symptoms.
Also, those who experienced worsening frailty throughout the study tended to develop higher levels of depression.
It suggested that exercise and mindfulness-based stress reduction might help alleviate the negative effects of frailty on psychological well-being.
