Sleep and Life Quality in Frail Elderly – A Narrative Review

Abstract: Introduction Population aging is a growing reality worldwide, characterized by a rapidly developing event that is not always associated with quality of life. Elderly health stands out, pointing to the need for public health policies that ensure effective and resolutive approaches for this population, and should be applied especially by primary health care, through actions that encourage active aging. The present review aimed to identify whether sleep disorders impact the quality of life in frail elderly. Methods We proceeded with the selection of keywords that led to the search of articles. The search was defined in the Lilacs, PubMed, and Embase databases, conducted from July to November, 2020.We have found a total of 455 articles, of which 9 were included in the present review. Results The studies obtained subjective (self-report and questionnaires) and objective (devices and exams) data that characterized frailty, disorders, and sleep quality in the elderly. Some studies have found a relationship between frailty and sleep disorders in women, others in men, and some have identified the existence of a relationship between these factors and the age of the participants who composed the samples. Conclusion Based in our results, we conclude that disorders and poor sleep quality interfere in the quality of life of frail elderly.
