Sleep quality and its relationship with physical activity and frailty syndrome among hospitalized older adults in North Iran.

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
Background: Sleep disorders are a prevalent concern among older adults, contributing to reduced physical function. A bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and frailty syndrome has been suggested. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate sleep quality and its associations with physical activity and frailty syndrome among hospitalized older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022 among 150 hospitalized older adults in East Guilan, northern Iran, using convenience sampling. PSQI, CHAMPS, and TFI questionnaires were employed as research instruments. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16, applying descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation coefficients. Results: The majority (76%) of participants had poor sleep quality, and 58.66% reported being physically active. Additionally, 58% were non-frail. Although no significant relationship was found between the total sleep quality score and frailty syndrome, a significant correlation was observed between habitual sleep efficiency and all dimensions of frailty (physical, psychological, and social). A positive relationship was also found between sleep quality and physical activity (r = 0.20, p = 0.014). Conclusion: Improved physical activity was associated with better sleep quality, which may reduce risk of frailty. Promoting physical activity and improving sleep hygiene in hospitalized older adults could enhance health outcomes and reduce frailty risk.
