Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to examine differences in rest-activity patterns and sleep characteristics in older adults with HF and healthy older adults. The sample included older adults with HF (n = 20) and a reference group of healthy older adults (n = 20). Traditional cosinor analysis was used to assess three parameters of rest-activity from wrist actigraphy data: amplitude (range of activity), mesor (mean activity), and acrophase (time of peak activity). Traditional sleep characteristics were also determined from actigraphy data: Total Sleep Time, Sleep Latency, Sleep efficiency, and Wake after Sleep Onset. The HF group demonstrated significantly lower mesor and amplitude than the reference group (p < 0.01). The HF group had significantly greater TST (p < 0.01), but the groups had similar SE, SL, and WASO. Despite similar sleep characteristics to healthy older adults, overall rest-activity patterns were significantly dampened in those with HF.
