Poor sleep quality turns out to be the one of the biggest risk factors for ending up in a nursing home, according to new research conducted among over 125,000 senior citizens in Australia.
Among the risk factors identified by the medical researchers, only smoking was worse than bad sleep habits. Smokers were two times as likely to end up in a nursing home as nonsmokers.The research, conducted by the University of Sydney, is being published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Participants were first surveyed between 2006 and 2009 and were all over the age of 60 at the time.
Those who had the least healthy lifestyles when surveyed for the first time were 43% more likely to end up in a nursing home than those who had the healthiest lifestyles.
