| Popis: | This study explored differences in sleep between older African Americans (AA) and Caucasians (CA) at risk for sleep-disordered breathing. Seventy AA and 70 CA were compared on ambulatory monitoring sleep variables and on self-reports on health and socioeconomic status (SES). After controlling for SES and health covariates, CA woke up significantly more often than AA (p = .018), but there were no other differences in sleep variables between the two groups. Time awake at night was related to being male, more depression, less walking, and lower income, whereas having more awakenings during the night was related to being CA, higher apnea-hypopnea index, and higher periodic leg movement index. Importance of inclusion of SES, health, and other covariates in studies exploring racial differences in sleep are discussed. |
