简要总结
This study investigates the use of wearable devices and a sleep diary for tracking sleep and its impact on cognition and balance in older adults over six weeks. It will include routine mobility, balance assessment, and cognitive evaluations, focusing on analyzing the relationships between sleep, mobility, balance, and cognition.
详细描述
The study is designed to assess the relationships between sleep quality, balance capabilities, and cognitive functions in older adults. Using a longitudinal approach, participants will be monitored over six weeks with the help of wearable technology (OURA ring) and standardized assessments. Weekly in-person visits will include balance assessments using the Mini-BESTest and mobility tests such as the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Cognitive functions will be evaluated using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery. The study aims to identify key sleep indicators that influence balance and cognition, ultimately contributing to improved strategies for maintaining the health and well-being of older adults.

结局指标
主要结局
Total Sleep Time
时间窗: 6-week daily assessments
Total Sleep Time will be monitored using the OURA ring, calculated as the sum of all sleep stages in minutes each night. Data will be aggregated to provide a daily and weekly average for each participant.
Sleep Onset Latency
时间窗: Daily assessments over 6 weeks
Sleep Onset Latency, defined as the time taken to transition from wakefulness to sleep, will be recorded by the OURA ring each night. Data will be shown in daily and weekly for each participant.
Sleep Efficiency
时间窗: Daily assessments over 6 weeks
Sleep Efficiency will be measured as the ratio of total sleep time to time in bed, expressed as a percentage. The OURA ring will track this nightly, and the data will be summarized as daily data points and a weekly average.
Cognitive Function
时间窗: 6 weeks weekly assessments
Evaluated using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery, with attention to memory, attention, and processing speed.
次要结局

- Mini-BESTest Score(Weekly assessments over 6 weeks)
- Daily Step Count(Daily assessments over 6 weeks recorded by Oura ring)
- Toe Strength from ToeScale(6 weeks weekly assessments)
