Sleep Apnea and Periodic Movements in an Aging Sample
Abstract
Individuals 65 years of age and older were randomly selected, from a primarily white upper-class population, to participate in a study of sleep disorders in elderly adults. One hundred forty-five volunteers had a brief telephone interview, a home interview, and a portable sleep recording using the Medilog and Respitrace systems. By research classifications, we found that 18% of the elderly participants had sleep apnea (apnea index greater than 5), 34% had periodic movements in sleep (myoclonus index greater than 5) (PMS), and 10% had both sleep apnea and PMS. These were not clinical diagnoses. The home recording indicated that the individuals with PMS slept significantly less than other older adults.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
