Abstract
The daytime and night-time activities in 15 aged subjects was studied using a wrist-worn activity device. A significant negative correlation between the amount of daytime and night-time activities was found (ga mma=26, P < 0.01). There was a significant gender difference relating to the amount of daytime activity; women had significantly greater amo unt of daytime activity than did the men (P < 0.001). These results su ggest that aged people with higher daytime activity sleep better than those with lower daytime activity and that nocturnal sleep in women ma y be less disturbed.
