Abstract

BACKGROUND: The most common degenerative condition in older adults is dementia, which can be predicted using a number of indicators and whose progression can be slowed down. One of the indicators of an increased risk of dementia is sleep disturbances. This study aims to examine if machine learning can predict dementia and which sleep disturbance factors impact dementia.
