By analyzing data from 1,168 adults over the age of 50, the researchers were able to confirm the hypothesis that sleep lasting less than seven hours is associated with Alzheimer’s biomarkers.
“Sleep is an opportunity to help prevent Alzheimer’s and promote brain health,” said one of the study’s authors. It is important that sleep disturbances were precisely associated with the key biomarkers of the disease: p-tau and t-tau.
