This study examined cross-sectional associations between sleep microarchitecture and cognitive dysfunction in community-dwelling men.

Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study participants underwent home-based polysomnography followed by Cognitive testing.

Results concluded that Sleep microarchitecture parameters may represent important brain-specific markers of cognitive dysfunction, particularly in older community-dwelling men. Therefore, this study extends the emerging community-based cohort literature on a potentially important link between sleep microarchitecture and cognitive dysfunction. Utility of sleep microarchitecture for predicting prospective cognitive dysfunction and decline warrants further investigation.
