Factors Affecting Sleep Quality of Adults and Older Adults during the COVID-19
Abstract
This study used a community sample of 3,200 adults over the age of 50 who lived in the USA during the pandemic. This study retrieved data from the 2020 American National Election Studies. Being a female, being a White, living in the western region, and having tested positive for COVID were positively associated with sleep disturbances. Age, being married, having good health, and having a family member tested positive for COVID were negatively associated with sleep disturbances. All these eight predictors accounted for 11.6% of the variance in sleep disturbance. Having good health emerged as the most influential predictor.
