Lim et al1 examined the relationship between sleep fragmentation and the histopathologic measures of cerebrovascular disease using data from 315 autopsied older inhabitants. The authors used actigraphy for the measurement of sleep fragmentation before death and the severity of vascular pathology and the presence/absence of brain infarct after death at autopsy. Ordinal logistic regression models were adopted to analyze the relationships, and they concluded that sleep fragmentation was significantly associated with arteriolosclerosis and the presence of subcortical infarcts.
