Title: Sex-Specific Machine Learning Predictions of Abnormal Sleep Duration in Pre-Dementia Older Adults with Depressive Symptoms using Ecological Momentary Assessments and Actigraphy.
Highlight: This study develops sex-specific machine learning models to predict abnormal sleep duration in pre-dementia older adults experiencing depressive symptoms. Based on these predictive models, the research proposes tailored self-management intervention strategies to prevent functional decline, such as focusing on reducing immobility time for males and increasing total activity counts for females.
