Poor sleep is common among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may contribute to further decline. Whether multimodal lifestyle intervention that combines bright light therapy (BLT), physical activity (PA), good hygiene can improve in MCI poor unknown.To assess the effect of a on probable sleep.This was 24-week proof-of-concept randomized trial 96 community-dwelling aged 65-85 years (<26/30 Montreal Cognitive Assessment) (>5 Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI])....
Poor sleep quality is common among older individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and may be a consequence of functional alterations in the brain; yet few studies have investigated underlying neural correlates actigraphy-measured this cohort.The objective study was to examine relationship between brain networks measured by actigraphy.In cross-sectional analysis, efficiency fragmentation were estimated using Motionwatch8 (MW8) over period 14 days 36 community-dwelling adults possible...
Abstract Poor sleep is common among older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and may contribute to their increased risk for dementia. Chronotherapy a set of intervention strategies which can improve quality by strengthening the entrainment biological clock solar light-dark cycle, includes such as: 1) bright light therapy (BLT); 2) physical activity (PA); 3) good hygiene. Thus, in this 24-week randomized controlled trial (RCT; NCT02926157), we aimed examine efficacy multimodal,...
Abstract Background Poor sleep is linked with chronic conditions common in older adults, including diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Valid reliable field methods to objectively measure are thus greatly needed examine how poor impacts adults. Wrist-worn actigraphy (WWA) a objective of that uses motion illuminance data estimate sleep. The rest-interval marks the time interval between when an individual attempts they get out bed start their day. Traditionally, scored manually by trained...

Abstract Poor sleep is a strong risk factor for dementia and commonly reported among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the neural underpinnings of poor MCI remains equivocal. The goal this cross-sectional analysis was to explore relationship between resting-state functional connectivity in brain quality as measured by actigraphy. We hypothesize lower efficiency higher fragmentation may be associated aberrant regions involved somatosensory, somatomotor, attentional...
