BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances (SDs) are common in @entity1 with all forms of @entity303 . However, most studies focus on @entity195 ( @entity195 ) and less is known about the prevalence and characteristics of @entity168 in @entity1832 ( @entity1832 ). OBJECTIVE: The aims of this cross-sectional study were: (1) to examine the frequency of @entity168 in @entity1832 versus @entity195 ; (2) to compare @entity1 with and without @entity168 with regard to relevant clinical variables, and (3) to investigate the associations between @entity168 and medication use. METHODS: @entity1 with a first-time diagnosis of probable or possible @entity1832 or @entity195 were selected from the @entity303 Study of Western Norway and recruited from clinics for old age psychiatry from 2010 until the end of 2013. RESULTS: In all, 123 (55.7%) subjects with @entity303 suffered from at least one @entity168 . @entity22 was present in 77 (34.8%), and 34 (20.7%) @entity1 had probable REM-sleep @entity74 (RBD). All SDs were also significantly more frequent in @entity1 with @entity1832 than in @entity195 , and @entity1832 @entity1 also more often had several co-occurring SDs. The presence of any @entity168 was associated with more @entity146 , higher morbidity, more @entity191 symptoms and excessive @entity25 . Antiparkinsonian medication was used more often in RBD, @entity4531 ( @entity4531 ) and periodic limb movements, and @entity1245 were also common in @entity4531 . CONCLUSIONS: Sleep problems are more common in @entity1832 @entity1 compared to @entity195 , and are associated with more clinical impairment. @entity1832 @entity1 frequently have several sleep problems occurring simultaneously, which suggests a need for screening and accurate assessment of sleep in @entity1832 .
