Associations of Sleepiness Scores and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Normal Non‐Sleepy Older Adults – Examining for Race and Sex‐specific Differences
In this non-sleepy, cognitively healthy diverse sample of community dwelling older adults, sleepiness scores were not associated with performance in any cognitive domain, possibly because this was a non-sleepy cohort. However, Race-specific effects of this association were observed in cognitive domains that subserve memory and language functions, suggesting that impacted domains may be related to EDS symptoms with a notable effect among Blacks.
