BMC Geriatrics is inviting submissions to our Collection on Sleep disorders in older adults.
This Collection aims to enhance our understanding of sleep disorders and develop evidence-based strategies for their diagnosis, treatment, and management.
Sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and circadian rhythm disorders, are thought to increase with aging, becoming a highly prevalent issue amongst older adults. Sleep disorders and disturbances can severely impact overall health and quality of life, increasing the risk of falls, cognitive decline, cardiovascular disease, and other adverse health outcomes. Despite their prevalence and impact, these conditions in older adults are often underdiagnosed and undertreated.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being.
