Investigating the Correlation between Sleep Disorders and Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults

Reno Torres

This study evaluates the effectiveness of technology-assisted interventions, such as wearable devices and robotic exoskeletons, in enhancing mobility among older adults. It includes a meta-analysis of clinical trials, highlighting improvements in gait, balance, and overall mobility. As the global population ages, concerns about the health and well-being of older adults become increasingly pertinent. Among the many health challenges faced by seniors, sleep disorders and cognitive impairment stand out as two interconnected issues with significant implications for quality of life. While it is well-established that sleep plays a crucial role in cognitive function, the relationship between sleep disorders and cognitive decline in older adults is complex and multifaceted. Understanding this correlation is essential for developing effective strategies to promote healthy aging and improve the overall well-being of older individuals.
