[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the association between sleep duration of the normal cognitive elderly and the volumes of the essential brain regions of cognitive function. Materials andMethods One hundred and eighteen elderly subjects with normal cognitive function were included in this study. Freesurfer 6.0 software was used to process MRI data of the participants and segment brain regions. The participants were divided into two groups: short sleeper group (n=46, sleep duration ＜7 hours) and long sleeper group (n=72, sleep duration ≥7 hours). The association between sleep duration and the volumes of the essential brain regions of cognitive function were analyzed by partial correlation respectively.Results When the sleep duration is longer than or equal to 7 hours, it has no significant association with volumes of the essential brain regions of cognitive function. When the sleep duration is shorter than 7 hours, it has a positive association with the volumes of left thalamus (r=0.445, P=0.030), caudate (r=0.371, P=0.048) and the right hippocampus (r=0.334, P=0.076), amygdala (r=0.445, P=0.030), thalamus (r=0.371, P=0.048), and caudate (r=0.414, P=0.036).Conclusions When sleep duration is less than 7 hours, it has a significant association with most of the essential brain regions of cognitive function. Adjusting sleep duration maybe helpful to prevent neurodegenerative changes in related brain regions of cognitive function.
