Adverse childhood experiences, sleep quality/duration and later-life lower extremity function among older adults in China: evidence from CHARLS by Jiaqiang Xiao, Xiaosheng Dong, Meng Ding, Tao Kong

“…The relationships between ACEs, sleep, and lower extremity function were analyzed using multivariate linear regression model and restricted cubic splines. Results After adjusting for covariates, older adults with four or more ACEs exhibited worse lower extremity function compared to those with no ACEs (β: -0.175). 6–8 h of sleep was associated with improved lower extremity function (β: 0.119), while good sleep quality was also associated with higher lower extremity function scores (β: 0.177). …”
