Abstract

Geriatrics & Gerontology Gerontology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Nursing Science & Technology
Sleep plays a vital role in older adults' health. The Community Aging in Place-Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) trial, conducted in Maryland between 2012 and 2016, is a 5-month biobehavioral environmental intervention study to reduce functional disabilities in 300 low-income older adults. Individual and environmental factors impacting sleep were addressed in CAPABLE. This secondary data analysis was to test the preliminary effect of CAPABLE on actigraph-measured sleep, compared with a social engagement control in 73 CAPABLE participants with pretest-posttest actigraph data. Participants in this analysis were aged 75.8 +/- 7.5 years; 86.3% of them were females and 84.9% were Black/African Americans. Both CAPABLE intervention and social engagement control improved sleep efficiency and reduced sleep onset latency. The effect of CAPABLE on sleep was comparable to social engagement. These findings underline the importance of promoting physical function and maintaining social activity for sleep in low-income older adults with disabilities. (C) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
