Abstract
Night sleep symptoms and their relation with a number of psychic, social and somatic variables were investigated in 453 community dwelling elderly subjects. Multivariate statistics showed that: (a) age in the over 75 elderly is not a risk factor for a poor night sleep quality; b) women report worse sleep quality for the frequent co-existence of depression, anxiety, somatization, disability, loneliness; (c) education can modify the elderly's expectations about their own sleep quality.
