Abstract

(1) Background: Prevalence of poor sleep quality and its association with frailty status among the aging population of Saudi Arabia has not been studied. Therefore, the main objective of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of poor sleep quality and investigate the association between poor sleep quality and frailty in Saudi older adults; (2) Methods: A total of 270 (mean age 69.9 ± 6.2) older adults from the Riyadh region were involved in the study. To measure sleep quality, the Arabic version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used. The Fried’s frailty index was utilized to assess frailty. Using multiple logistic regression models, the association between sleep quality and frailty status was evaluated using the Odds Ratio and confidence intervals (CI 95%); (3) Results: The pre-frailty and frailty status were prevalent among older adults who had poor sleep quality, 37% and 37.6% ( p < 0.001), retrospectively. Poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5) was independently associated with both frailty (OR = 2.13) and prefrailty groups (OR = 1.67); (4) Conclusions: our study demonstrated a significant association between frailty and poor sleep quality. However, a longitudinal future study needs to be established to confirm this association and establish the causality relationship.
