TL;DR
Sleep patterns considerably varied among the countries in the elderly population, and extreme values of sleep duration (short and long sleep) were associated with several sleep and mental health problems.
Abstract
Sleep patterns considerably varied among the countries in the elderly population. Extreme values of sleep duration (short and long sleep) were associated with several sleep and mental health problems.

790 Citations1999J.-P. Janssens, Jean Claude Pache +1 more
Physiological ageing of the lung is associated with dilatation of alveoli, enlargement of airspaces, decrease in exchange surface area and loss of supporting tissue for peripheral airways ("senile emphysema"), changes resulting in decreased static elastic recoil of the lungs and increased residual volume and functional residual capacity.

Journal of Psychosomatic ResearchSleep complaints cosegregate with illness in older adults
197 Citations2002Michael V. Vitiello, Karen E. Moe +1 more
Findings indicate that careful health assessments will screen out most sleep complaints and disorders in the older population and lend further support to the epidemiological evidence demonstrating that the bulk of geriatric sleep complained and disorders is not the result of age per se, but rather cosegregates with medical and psychiatric disorders and related health burdens.

181 Citations1992Daniel J. Buysse, Kaitlin E. Browman +4 more
To examine differences between healthy elderly and young adults in daytime napping, nocturnal sleep, and 24‐hour sleep/wake patterns, a second objective was to determine whether elderly subjects with more and less frequent naps differed in their clinical features or no Nocturnal sleep.

SLEEPDaily Social Rhythms in the Elderly and Their Relation to Objectively Recorded Sleep
108 Citations1992Timothy H. Monk, Charles F. Reynolds +2 more
The SRM scales revealed that the older group had just as many activities completed and just as much other-person involvement as the young, which suggests either that these seniors have always been regular in their life-style and that this has been protective of their health and vigor, or that their regularity has been developed as an adaptive response to age-related changes in the circadian system.
Clinics in Geriatric MedicineNormative aging of the respiratory system
107 Citations2003Jomarie Zeleznik
The data, although limited, do support a qualitative emphysematous change in lung histology and lung-thorax mechanics and there is no evidence that the changes in the respiratory system with aging impact day-to-day function of older adults.

97 Citations1999Maurice M. Ohayon
The diagnostic potential of the Sleep-Eval models is illustrated using data collected in an epidemiological study of the noninstitutionalized general population of Italy and underlines the advantages and limits of the binary, bayesian, and fuzzy logic methods and analyses.
Chronobiology InternationalDifferences Over the Life Span in Daily Life-Style Regularity
89 Citations1997Timothy H. Monk, Charles F. Reynolds +4 more
Life-style regularity appears to increase over the life span in response to both biological and psychosocial changes and may represent an adaptation to age-related changes in the circadian system's sensitivity to entraining agents.

The premise that marked discrepancies between subjective and PSG-determined sleep may not be limited to insomnia, but present in other sleep disorders as well, should be appreciated by practitioners when obtaining sleep histories is supported.

SLEEPOverestimation of Sleep Latency by Patients With Suspected Hypersomnolence
27 Citations1996Ronald D. Chervin, Christian Guilleminault
Overestimation of sleep latency is more readily part of an explanation for why hypersomnolent patients sometimes complain of insomnia than it is for failure to recognize EDS.
The International Journal of Aging and Human DevelopmentRelationships between Sleep and Retirement—Nonretirement Status
17 Citations1985Wilse B. Webb, William R. Aber
There were indications that retirement status decreased the frequency of napping, which may result from their more extended night time sleep period, and that employed participants had later bed times on weekend nights than retirees.

7 Citations1998T. Hashimoto, Toshinori Kobayashi
It is suggested that aged people with higher daytime activity sleep better than those with lower daytime activity and that nocturnal sleep in women may be less disturbed.
