BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm dysregulation may contribute to sleep-wake disorders and cognitive impairment. In the elderly, circadian abnormalities have been observed in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), suggesting a possible association between neurocognitive deficits and circadian dysfunctions.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between circadian rhythm disturbances and cognitive decline in the population aged ≥ 60 years.
METHODS: This systematic review included studies evaluating the association between circadian rhythm disturbances and cognitive decline in elderly individuals aged 60 years or older, with self-reported or objectively measured sleep data and cognitive assessment via questionnaires. Studies tracking progression from MCI to Alzheimer's disease (AD) were retained, as they capture circadian changes across the MCI-to-dementia continuum. Studies that evaluated other sleep disorders and/or other conditions of cognitive impairment exclusively or that did not specify the mean age of the participants were excluded.
RESULTS: Ten studies were included, totaling 5,731 participants (5,707 eligible for analysis). Circadian exposures were organized into three domains: (1) actigraphic rest-activity rhythm metrics (amplitude, robustness, interdaily stability, intradaily variability, and acrophase); (2) sleep quality and architecture parameters (efficiency, fragmentation, latency, WASO, and melatonin timing); and (3) circadian-disrupting lifestyle exposures (rotating night shift work). Across these domains, circadian dysregulation was consistently associated with a higher risk of development or progression of MCI and dementia.
CONCLUSION: Circadian and sleep disturbances negatively impact cognitive health in the elderly, reinforcing the need for further research on this association and its public health implications.
