Because daytime consequences are often stated as a reason to seek care, we study to what extent the medicalization of sleep problems is found in an aging European population, with a focus on daily activities. Method: Data from the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe are used in three-level, generalized linear mixed models. Medicalization is operationalized as the use of medication for sleep problems at least once per week. Results: Men are more likely than women to use medication for sleep problems, and the process of aging is associated with a decrease in medicalization. Discussion: Sleep problems seem to be medicalized particularly when they prevent aging individuals from engaging in work-related responsibilities, as medication is especially used by employed individuals with sleep problems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0898264317696775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,15]],"date-time":"2017-03-15T07:54:30Z","timestamp":1489564470000},"page":"816-838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Medicalization of Sleep Problems in an Aging Population: A Longitudinal Cross-National Study of Medication Use for Sleep Problems in Older European Adults"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Vera","family":"van de Straat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ghent University, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veerle","family":"Buffel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ghent University, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piet","family":"Bracke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ghent University, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0022146512446642"},{"key":"bibr2-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0047.2004.00325.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr3-0898264317696775","first-page":"20","volume":"52","author":"Ancoli-Israel S.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Geriatrics"},{"issue":"9","key":"bibr4-0898264317696775","first-page":"24","volume":"66","author":"Ancoli-Israel S.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Psychiatry"},{"key":"bibr5-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2008.10.016"},{"key":"bibr6-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5153\/sro.1628"},{"key":"bibr7-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00002512-199914020-00002"},{"key":"bibr8-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2010.1495"},{"key":"bibr9-0898264317696775","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781446200988.n4"},{"key":"bibr10-0898264317696775","first-page":"259","volume-title":"The social norms approach to preventing school and college age substance abuse: A handbook for educators, counselors, and clinicians","author":"Berkowitz A.
