Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES In aging, reduced delta power (0.5-4 Hz) during N2 and N3 sleep has been associated with gray matter (GM) atrophy and hypometabolism within frontal regions. Some studies have also reported associations between N2 and N3 sleep delta power in specific sub-bands and amyloid pathology. Our objective was to better understand the relationships between spectral power in delta sub-bands during N2-N3 sleep and brain integrity using multimodal neuroimaging. METHODS In-home polysomnography was performed in 127 cognitively unimpaired older adults (mean age ± SD: 69.0 ± 3.8 years). N2-N3 sleep EEG power was calculated in delta (0.5-4 Hz), slow delta (0.5-1 Hz), and fast delta (1-4 Hz) frequency bands. Participants also underwent magnetic resonance imaging and Florbetapir-PET (early and late acquisitions) scans to assess GM volume, brain perfusion, and amyloid burden. Amyloid accumulation over ~21 months was also quantified. RESULTS Higher delta power was associated with higher GM volume mainly in fronto-cingular regions. Specifically, slow delta power was positively correlated with GM volume and perfusion in these regions, while the inverse association was observed with fast delta power. Delta power was neither associated with amyloid burden at baseline nor its accumulation over time, whatever the frequency band considered. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that slow delta is particularly associated with preserved brain structure, and highlight the importance of analyzing delta power sub-bands to better understand the associations between delta power and brain integrity. Further longitudinal investigations with long follow-ups are needed to disentangle the associations among sleep, amyloid pathology, and dementia risk in older populations.

Associations of sleep duration and daytime sleepiness with plasma amyloid beta and cognitive performance in cognitively unimpaired, middle-aged and older African Americans. Sleep 2024; 47:zsad302. [PMID: 38011629 PMCID: PMC10782500 DOI: 10.1093/sleep/zsad302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Given the established racial disparities in both sleep health and dementia risk for African American populations, we assess cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of self-report sleep duration (SRSD) and daytime sleepiness with plasma amyloid beta (Aβ) and cognition in an African American (AA) cohort. METHODS In a cognitively unimpaired sample drawn from the African Americans Fighting Alzheimer's in Midlife (AA-FAiM) study, data on SRSD, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, demographics, and cognitive performance were analyzed. Aβ40, Aβ42, and the Aβ42/40 ratio were quantified from plasma samples. Cross-sectional analyses explored associations between baseline predictors and outcome measures. Linear mixed-effect regression models estimated associations of SRSD and daytime sleepiness with plasma Aβ and cognitive performance levels and change over time. RESULTS One hundred and forty-seven participants comprised the cross-sectional sample. Baseline age was 63.2 ± 8.51 years. 69.6% self-identified as female. SRSD was 6.4 ± 1.1 hours and 22.4% reported excessive daytime sleepiness. The longitudinal dataset included 57 participants. In fully adjusted models, neither SRSD nor daytime sleepiness is associated with cross-sectional or longitudinal Aβ. Associations with level and trajectory of cognitive test performance varied by measure of sleep health. CONCLUSIONS SRSD was below National Sleep Foundation recommendations and daytime sleepiness was prevalent in this cohort. In the absence of observed associations with plasma Aβ, poorer self-reported sleep health broadly predicted poorer cognitive function but not accelerated decline. Future research is necessary to understand and address modifiable sleep mechanisms as they relate to cognitive aging in AA at disproportionate risk for dementia.
