Selection of participants and stratification for AGEs‐low and ‐high groups. This study longitudinally evaluated the AGEs level, sleep disorders and nocturia frequency in 447 community‐dwelling adults for 5 years. Participants were divided into two groups: AGEs‐low (≤1.80) and AGEs‐high (>1.80). The longitudinal change of nocturia and PSQI for 5 years was compared between the AGEs‐low and AGEs‐high groups. AGEs, advanced glycation end products; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
