Multivariable adjusted by age, sex, race, BMI, smoking status, alcohol use, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, AHI, T90, benzodiazepine use, lipid-lowering medication use, history of MI, CHF, stroke/cerebrovascular disease, COPD, and chronic bronchitis, insomnia symptom, and sleep duration.

AHI = apnea-hypopnea index, BMI = body mass index, CHF = congestive heart failure, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HR = hazard ratio, MI = myocardial infarction, MrOS = Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study, SHHS = Sleep Heart Health Study, T90 = percent time below oxygen desaturation 90%.
