Elderly people with poor sleep quality were higher in the sometimes lonely mood group than in the comfortable group (OR = 5.08; 95% CI: 1.43 - 17.98). The elderly had poor sleep quality in the group with moderate anxiety (OR = 6.26; 95% CI: 1.08 - 36.16) and severe (OR = 11.90; 95% CI: 1.00 - 141.69) higher than the normal group. Elderly people with poor quality of sleep account for a high percentage, need health counseling, psychotherapy, and avoid negative effects from psychology and family.
