Elderly individuals are vulnerable to various chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders. Irregular or disrupted sleep patterns have been identified as key factors influencing the risk of chronic diseases in older adults. This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep patterns and the risk of chronic diseases in the elderly. A literature review method was employed by gathering data from relevant studies. The analysis indicates that sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, increase the risk of chronic diseases due to disrupted bodily recovery processes and metabolism during sleep. Therefore, improving sleep patterns is a crucial intervention in preventing chronic diseases among the elderly.
