Abstract

Aim: To determine the prevalence of poor sleep quality among postmenopausal women and its impact on their quality of life. Subjects and Method: After approval of our ethics committee, a total 315 postmenopausal women aged 45–60 were recruited and investigated using an interview questionnaire. The questionnaire contains three main items: Socidemographic data, assessment of sleep quality using an Arabic translated version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Arabic version of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 Survey (SF-36). Results: 69.5% of the participants had poor sleep quality. Poor sleepers have higher prevalence of sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep quality of spouse, and increased caffeine intake. Bivariate analysis did not show any significant difference between poor and good sleepers regarding age, BMI, residence, occupational status, educational level and socioeconomic status. Sedentary lifestyle was found to be a significant predictor of poor sleep quality. All SF-36 domain scores were significantly lower among poor sleepers. Conclusion: Poor sleep quality is a high prevalent problem among postmenopausal women and it affects health-related quality of life of these women. A lot of modifiable risk factors were previously found to affect sleep quality, but we have found that only sedentary lifestyle is the only modifiable risk factor that significantly affects sleep quality.
