To investigate the dose-response relationship between nighttime sleep duration and fall risk among older adults with chronic diseases, and to analyze age differences, thereby informing targeted interventions.
A questionnaire survey was conducted from January to May 2024 among adults aged ≥60 years in Shandong Province. Logistic regression was used to assess fall risk across different sleep durations. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were applied to analyze nonlinear associations, with age-stratified analysis performed.
Among 1 421 older adults with chronic diseases, the fall incidence was 18.7%. RCS analysis revealed a significant nonlinear relationship between nighttime sleep duration and fall risk (overall trend P<0.001, nonlinear P=0.019). The optimal overall sleep duration was 7-8 h. Age-stratified results showed that among individuals aged 60-70 years, those sleeping 6-7 h had the lowest fall risk (overall trend P<0.001, nonlinear P=0.011). while those aged 71-80 had the lowest fall risk with 7-8 h of sleep (overall trend P=0.003, nonlinear P=0.037). For individuals aged 81 and older, the relationship between sleep duration and fall risk was not significantly nonlinear (overall trend P=0.182, nonlinear P=0.109).
Nighttime sleep duration and fall risk exhibit a U-shaped curve in older adults with chronic diseases, with optimal duration varying by age. Appropriately managing sleep duration may help reduce fall risk.
