Changing demographics in REM sleep behavior disorder: Possible effect of autoimmunity and antidepressants

Abstract Background Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) has been described predominantly in elderly men and in association with neurodegenerative disease. But an increasing proportion of cases in recent reports and in clinical practice do not fit this description; thus we sought t...

description Abstract Background Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) has been described predominantly in elderly men and in association with neurodegenerative disease. But an increasing proportion of cases in recent reports and in clinical practice do not fit this description; thus we sought to describe a current RBD population and possibly identify new subgroups with RBD. Methods Records of 115 consecutive patients with polysomnogram-confirmed RBD at an academic sleep center were retrospectively reviewed. Results Male to female ratio was 2:1, and 1.25:1 for early-onset (age

Methods Records of 115 consecutive patients with polysomnogram-confirmed RBD at an academic sleep center were retrospectively reviewed. Results Male to female ratio was 2:1, and 1.25:1 for early-onset (age &lt;50) cases. Mean age at diagnosis was 53.7 ± 16.4 years. Most (60%) cases were idiopathic, and neurodegenerative disease was coincident primarily in older men. Autoimmune disease was unexpectedly common in women (20%) particularly in the 30–49 age groups (40%). Antidepressant use was frequent (46.1%), especially in early-onset cases (57.8%).

While neurodegenerative disease is frequently co-incident with RBD in older men, most women and early-onset cases have “idiopathic” RBD. High prevalence of autoimmune disease among women with RBD suggests an intriguing link between immune dysfunction and RBD. A high rate of antidepressant use provides support for a potentially causal role for antidepressants in RBD.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1389-9457</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1878-5506</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2010.07.022</identifier><identifier>PMID: 21317035</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Netherlands: Elsevier B.V</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Age Distribution ; Age of Onset ; Aged ; Antidepressant ; Antidepressive Agents - adverse effects ; Autoimmune ; Autoimmune Diseases - epidemiology ; Dementia ; Female ; Humans ; Incidence ; Male ; Middle Aged ; Narcolepsy ; Narcolepsy - chemically induced ; Narcolepsy - epidemiology ; Narcolepsy - immunology ; Neurodegenerative Diseases - epidemiology ; Neurology ; Polysomnography ; Prevalence ; RBD ; REM Sleep Behavior Disorder - chemically induced ; REM Sleep Behavior Disorder - epidemiology ; REM Sleep Behavior Disorder - immunology ; Retrospective Studies ; Sex Distribution ; Sleep Medicine ; Synucleinopathy ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Sleep medicine, 2011-03, Vol.12 (3), p.278-283</ispartof><rights>Elsevier B.V.</rights><rights>2011 Elsevier B.V.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
