Ecological and Demographic Influences on the Prevalence of Sleep Disorders and Their Impact on Cognitive Decline.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSleep disorders are increasingly recognized as significant public health concerns, influencing cognitive function and overall well-being. While previous studies have established a connection between sleep disturbances and cognitive decline, little is known about the impact of ecological factors such as noise pollution, air quality, and temperature on sleep health. This study examines the relationship between ecological influences, the prevalence of sleep disorders, and their impact on cognitive functioning in various demographic groups.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 150 participants aged 18 and older. Data were collected using self-reported ecological and sleep quality questionnaires and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to assess cognitive function. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States), with chi-square tests (χ
resultsGender differences were observed, with males showing lower rates of moderate cognitive impairment (n = 12) compared to females (n = 30), although sleep quality differences were not statistically significant (t(148) = 0.51, p = 0.61). Older adults exhibited significantly lower MMSE scores (χ
conclusionThis study highlights the substantial impact of ecological and demographic factors on sleep health and cognitive function. Poor sleep quality, influenced by noise pollution, air quality, and temperature fluctuations, is associated with cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. Maintaining an optimal sleep duration of approximately seven hours may serve as a protective factor against cognitive impairment. Given the observed associations, targeted interventions such as noise reduction policies, improved air quality measures, and urban planning for better sleep environments could help mitigate sleep-related cognitive decline. Future longitudinal studies incorporating objective sleep monitoring techniques are recommended to strengthen causal inferences.
