abstract="AIM: Alcohol consumption is high in the colder regions of Russia, and it is related  to poor sleep quality, mental and physical health problems. Little known on the  actual situation, and no appropriate amount of drinking has been shown as a health  guidance. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between alcohol  consumption (in pure alcohol) and sleep among older people living in the Russian  Siberian region, and the factors related to alcohol consumption. <br><br>METHODS: A  self-reported questionnaire survey was administered to 422 elderly over the age of  60 living in Novosibirsk, the central city of Siberia. Question items were basic  attributes, health status, drinking habits, Short Form-8 Health Survey, Geriatric  Depression Scale, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. For drinking elderly, daily  amount of alcohol converted in pure alcohol was calculated, and logistic regression  analysis among the two groups was compared based on the median value (32 g). <br><br>RESULTS: The valid responses from the survey was 416 (98.9%). Of these, 293 with  drinking habits were subjected to logistic regression analysis using pure alcohol  (≥32 g/day) as the dependent variable. Significant relationships were found with  gender (OR=0.586; 95%CI: 0.345-0.995), years of education (OR=1.538; 95%CI:  1.239-1.910), insomnia (OR=2.442; 95%CI: 1.185-5.032), alcohol intake, due to better  sleep (OR=4.120; 95%CI: 1.044-16.258), effects of drinking, arousal during the night  (OR=2.586; 95%CI: 1.317-5.077), effects of drinking, from family (OR=26.938; 95%CI:  3.368-215.431). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Among the elderly people in colder regions of Russia, high alcohol consumption reduces sleep quality, suggesting the need for appropriate  standards for pure alcohol and health education.<p /> <p>Language: ja</p>",
