Late life sleep disturbances: Effects on cell stress, telomerase, inflammation
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Included in the many objectives of Healthy People 2020, is a goal to improve public awareness and knowledge of how sleep impacts health, wellness, and quality of life. To help meet this goal, we must better understand the biological mechanisms through which sleep influences health, facilitating better understanding of how sleep deprivation affects disease risk. The current transdisciplinary research proposal is positioned to meet this public health need by improving our current understanding of the biological mechanisms through which sleep deprivation contributes to the progression of aging and premature morbidity and mortality in older adults.
