The Exercise-Induced Weight Loss Improves Self-Reported Quality of Sleep in Obese Elderly Women with Sleep Disorders
Open accessAbstract
Study Objective: Epidemiological studies have shown a close correlation between obesity and sleep disorders which threatens the quality of life in the elderly.Thus, the purpose of this research was to study the effect of the aerobic exercise (with the aim of decreasing obesity) on quality of sleep in obese elderly women.Method: 34 obese elderly women with sleep disorder recognized by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were recruited purposefully from the Preventive healthcare Center and randomly allocated to two groups either aerobic training (3 sessions a week for 12 wk.), or a control group.All Obesity indexes measures including Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Hip Ratio (WHR), and Percent Body Fat (PBF) were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis.Results: The results suggested that PSQI, Sleep quality, Sleep duration, Sleep Efficiency, Sleep disturbance, Sleep medications and Daytime dysfunction were significantly improved in experimental group, besides (p<0.05).All obesity indexes including BMI, PBF and WHR were significantly improved after exercise intervention (p<0.05).Conclusion: The exercise-induced weight loss improved the quality of sleep in obese elderly women.

“Several mechanisms that provide a rationale for the improvement in insomnia symptoms from exercise have been suggested [133,136,137,138,139]; these include but are not limited to reducing core body temperature for sleep onset [140,141,142,143], increasing melatonin and serotonin secretion [131,144], reducing depression and anxiety, and improving autonomic regulation which may reduce hyperarousal”

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.
