Sleep plays a vital role in older adults’ health. The Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders (CAPABLE) trial, conducted in Maryland between 2012 and 2016, is a 5-month biobehavioral environmental intervention study to reduce functional disabilities in 300 low-income older adults. Individual and environmental factors impacting sleep were addressed in CAPABLE. This secondary data analysis was to test the preliminary effect of CAPABLE on actigraph-measured sleep, compared with a social engagement control in 73 CAPABLE participants with pretest-posttest actigraph data. Participants in this analysis were aged 75.8±7.5 years; 86.3% of them were females and 84.9% were Black/African Americans. Both CAPABLE intervention and social engagement control improved sleep efficiency and reduced sleep onset latency. The effect of CAPABLE on sleep was comparable to social engagement. These findings underline the importance of promoting physical function and maintaining social activity for sleep in low-income older adults with disabilities.

睡眠对老年人的健康起着至关重要的作用。2012 年至 2016 年在马里兰州进行的社区老龄化——促进老年人更好的生活 (CAPABLE) 试验是一项为期 5 个月的生物行为环境干预研究，旨在减少 300 名低收入老年人的功能障碍。CAPABLE 中解决了影响睡眠的个人和环境因素。这项二次数据分析是为了测试 CAPABLE 对活动记录仪测量的睡眠的初步影响，并与 73 名具有前后测试活动记录仪数据的 CAPABLE 参与者的社交参与控制进行比较。该分析的参与者年龄为 75.8±7.5 岁；其中 86.3% 是女性，84.9% 是黑人/非裔美国人。CAPABLE 干预和社会参与控制都提高了睡眠效率并减少了入睡潜伏期。CAPABLE 对睡眠的影响与社交参与相当。这些发现强调了促进低收入残疾老年人的身体机能和维持睡眠社会活动的重要性。
