Dynamic Interactions Among Sleep Duration, Cognitive Function, and Depressive Symptoms in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Adults: Temporal Network Analysis From CHARLS
Our study revealed that emotional distress, especially the "bothered" symptom, plays a central role in depressive symptoms and cognitive decline. The bridging effect of short sleep duration underscores the potential of interventions targeting both sleep and emotional distress for alleviating depressive symptoms and delaying cognitive deterioration in older adults.
