Insomnia symptoms, sleep duration, and risk of falls in older adult women: findings from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation
Multiple indicators of poor sleep, including trouble falling asleep, frequent waking, and short sleep duration, were associated with an increased risk of falling and odds of higher fall burden in older adult women. Promoting adequate, high-quality sleep may be an essential component in fall prevention.
