We hypothesised that utilising modern media to deliver an online Epworth Sleepiness Scale, age- and gender-related differences in subjective daytime sleepiness could be assessed. METHODS: Age, gender and online Epworth Sleepiness Scale (range 0-24 points) of 39,448 subjects were recorded between January 2013 and November 2015. RESULTS: A significant trend, for males but not females, was found between age and Epworth score (p < 0.001). Average scores were higher for female subjects in their 1st and 2nd (p = 0.014), 3rd (p < 0.011) and 4th lifetime decade (p = 0.011), whereas male subjects conveyed significantly higher levels of sleepiness in their 7th lifetime decade (p < 0.001). Individual item analysis found differences between gender; females scored significantly higher than males in items 1, 4 and 5, while male subjects had higher scores for items 3, 6, 7 and 8. Lowest levels of sleepiness were reported for item 8 and highest scores for item 5. CONCLUSIONS: The use of an online Epworth Sleepiness Scale identifies gender- and age-specific differences and facilitates new pathways in the delivery of chronic care.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.784189633918261,"endowment":3.784189633918261,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"27837377","pmcid":"PMC5399063","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2551540536","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"British Lung Foundation","grant_id":"","title":null}],"total_grants":1,"fwci":3.0172,"citation_percentile":0.9065125,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":3},{"year":2019,"count":5},{"year":2020,"count":6},{"year":2021,"count":9},{"year":2022,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":3},{"year":2024,"count":6},{"year":2025,"count":3},{"year":2026,"count":5}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs11325-016-1417-x.pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2Fs11325-016-1417-x.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11325-016-1417-x.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11325-016-1417-x/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11325-016-1417-x","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27837377","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/bdd6da3c-b2b6-4b4d-8740-3b50ad4b77ea","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/5399063","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://kclpure.kcl.ac.uk/ws/files/59150281/2016_J_Boyes_SLEEP_BREATH_ESS.pdf","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC5399063","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC5399063?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Sleep and related disorders","Sleep and Work-Related Fatigue","Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research","Adult","Age Factors","Aged","Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted","Disorders of Excessive Somnolence","Female","Humans","Internet","Male","Middle Aged","Psychometrics","Reproducibility of Results","Sex Factors","Sleep Apnea, Obstructive","Surveys and Questionnaires","Young Adult"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Age Factors","Aged","Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted","Female","Humans","Disorders of Excessive Somnolence","Male","Middle Aged","Psychometrics","Surveys and Questionnaires","Sex Factors","Reproducibility of Results","Sleep Apnea, Obstructive","Internet","Young Adult"],"keywords":["Epworth Sleepiness Scale","Excessive daytime sleepiness","Medicine","Psychology","Physical therapy","Internal medicine","Insomnia","Sleep disorder","Psychiatry","Polysomnography","upper airway","Questionnaire","Sleep Apnea"],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-06T10:17:39.021953Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
