TL;DR
It is suggested that the findings of the present study, in particular the potential predictive value of REM latency and REM density for cognitive functioning in the old, need replication in other subject samples followed for similar time periods.
Abstract
While the REM latency and density findings support the theory of a functional link between brain cholinergic activity, timing, and density of REM sleep and cognitive functioning, the positive association between the number of NREM shifts at baseline and cognitive performance 14 years later is difficult to explain. It is suggested that the findings of the present study, in particular the potential predictive value of REM latency and REM density for cognitive functioning in the old, need replication in other subject samples followed for similar time periods.

It appears that the EEG of sleep may prove to be a diagnostic and research tool of special value to geriatric psychiatry because the quantitative changes in sleep with normal and pathological aging are similar to changes which take place in rate of overall brain metabolism.

REM density appears to be a more likely candidate for a biologic marker for major depression than is REM latency, which was clearly affected by age, but there were no significant differences between patients and controls until the middle of the fourth decade of life.

Physostigmine, an anticholinesterase agent that increases acetylcholine at the synapse, in a dose of 0.5 milligram was given intravenously to seven normal human volunteers and induced REM sleep, suggesting that cholinergic mechanisms play a role in the induction of REM sleep and in modulating cortical arousal mechanisms.

The results indicate that with advancing severity of the disease, sleep/wake patterns are disrupted in parallel with the disturbances in cognition and function that are the hallmarks of AD, and suggest that the neural substrates underlying each process degenerate at somewhat comparable rates.
