Age and gender differences in objective sleep properties using large-scale body acceleration data in a Japanese population
Abstract Using large-scale objective sleep data derived from body acceleration signals of 68,604 Japanese residents ranging from adolescents to the elderly (10–89 years old), we found significant age- and gender-related differences in sleep properties (timing, duration, and quality) in real-life set...
