Sleep disturbances among older adults from the Russian Far East experiencing social loss: is there a sex difference?
Our findings emphasize that social loss is a risk factor for sleep disturbances, while social interaction serves as a buffering factor for sleep disturbances in elderly females experiencing social loss. This suggests that providing targeted support for elderly individuals of different sexes who have experienced social loss may be an equitable and effective approach to improving sleep health among the elderly in the Russia Far East.
