Good sleep is essential for health, yet associations between and dementia risk remain incompletely understood. The Sleep Dementia Consortium was established to study polysomnography (PSG)-derived the of related cognitive brain magnetic resonance imaging endophenotypes.
Objective: A common barrier to exercise is a perceived lack of time. The current pilot study examined the effects an implementation intention intervention enhance self-efficacy, increase confidence when facing time constraints, and physical activity in middle-aged adults (n = 63, aged 35–69). Design: Participants received pedometer (Fitbit) objectively measure were randomly assigned either control or condition. After 1-week baseline, condition instructions plan how, where, they would add...
Abstract Study objectives Poor sleep may play a role in the risk of dementia. However, few studies have investigated association between polysomnography (PSG)-derived architecture and dementia incidence. We examined relationship incidence across five US-based cohort from Sleep Dementia Consortium (SDC). Methods Percent time spent stages (N1, N2, N3, REM sleep), wake after onset, maintenance efficiency, apnea hypopnea index relative delta power were derived single night home-based PSG. was...
Although fitness technology can track and encourage increases in physical activity, few smartphone apps are based on behavior change theories. Apps that do include behavioral components tend to be costly often not strategies help those who unsure of how increase their activity.The aim this pilot study is test the efficacy a new app, StepMATE, for increasing daily walking sample inactive adults examine relationships between self-reported mood energy.The participants were middle-aged older...
Modifying unhealthy behaviors and/or environments may improve or maintain an older adult's health. However, achieving and sustaining behavior change is challenging depends upon clinical, social, psychological, political domains. In effort to highlight the multidisciplinary nature of change, NIA Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) held a two-day workshop, Achieving for adults. The workshop was informed by socioecological model designed initiate dialogue around individual, community,...
ABSTRACT Study objectives Poor sleep may play a role in the risk of dementia. However, few studies have investigated association between polysomnography (PSG)-derived architecture and dementia incidence. We examined relationship macro-architecture incidence across five US-based cohort from Sleep Dementia Consortium (SDC). Methods Percent time spent stages (N1, N2, N3, REM sleep), wake after onset maintenance efficiency were derived single night home-based PSG. was ascertained each using its...
Abstract Background Good sleep is essential for health, yet the role of in dementia risk incompletely understood. The Sleep and Dementia Consortium (SDC) was established to study associations between polysomnography (PSG)‐derived metrics related cognitive brain MRI endophenotypes. This presents architecture obstructive apnea (OSA) with function across participating cohorts. Method SDC curates data from five population‐based cohorts methodologically consistent, overnight, home‐based PSG...
Abstract Physical activity is one of the most promising and accessible strategies to promote healthy aging. Yet, majority middle-aged older adults do not engage in recommended amount exercise despite awareness its widespread benefits. Smartphone apps have potential be valuable tools tracking encouraging physical activity; however, few incorporate successful behavior change strategies. Drawing from interviews with adults, we created a new smartphone app encourage track daily walking, StepMATE...
Abstract Modifiable health behaviors, such as physical activity and sleep quality are important for cognition throughout life. A growing body of research also suggests that engaging in enough is to sleeping well. One recent study found efficiency mediates the relationship between cognition. It still unknown whether other metrics mediators. The present tested mediation second wave Midlife United States (MIDUS) study. Using PROCESS macro SPSS, we those who were more physically active fell...
Abstract Although there is evidence that physical activity (PA) and sleep are related, it unclear which aspects of these multidimensional constructs involved. Many have examined differences in PA between persons, but few tested daily associations within persons. The present study (duration; hours spent asleep, WASO; wake after onset, latency; time to fall asleep) (total intensity) over 7 days, using both a self-reported diary (subjective) an ActiWatch (objective). Healthy adults 34 83 came...
