Abstract
Abstract Background This study investigated the relationship between sleep disturbance, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and osteoporosis in older adults. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 326 older adults (mean age: 83.46 years) in elder care institutions in Taiwan. The presence of osteoporosis was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, while sleep quality and OSA risk were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and STOP-Bang questionnaire, respectively. Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured to assess autonomic function. Logistic regression models, adjusted f
