| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate sleep quality and fatigue in patients with Sjogren's syndrome, a rheumatic disease commonly encountered in menopausal women. Healthy individuals and patients with rheumatoid arthritis were used as comparative control groups. After completing a questionnaire survey, participants wore a sleep activity meter (actigram) for 14 days to objectively evaluate sleep quality. Measurements were obtained from 60 participants. Comparisons were performed among groups matched for age and work status. In patients with Sjogren's syndrome, health-related quality of life was inferior to that of healthy participants, in line with the findings of previous studies. Moreover, the patients self-reported poor sleep quality and marked fatigue. The results obtained from the objective sleep measurement, using the actigram, showed that the number of awakenings and awakening duration tended to be higher in the group of patients with Sjogren's syndrome.
