The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness and associated factors in older diabetic patients

CONCLUSION: The EDS was found in one in five older diabetic patients. There was a significant relationship between EDS and drug use, anticholinergic drug burden, impaired excretory functions, sarcopenia, decreased functional capacity, falls, gait-balance disorder, and cognitive dysfunction. The recognization of EDS and the implementation of interventions may be helpful in the management of geriatric syndromes.PMID:38064108 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02602-9
