Evidence for a contribution of the APOE (but not the ACE) gene to the sleep profile of non-demented elderly adults

This study aims to investigate alleles of the human apolipoprotein E (APOE) and of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genes as risk factors for poor quality of sleep in elderly individuals with no major cognitive decline. This cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted with 163 participant...
