Fully adjusted mixed model included total nighttime sleep duration (hours from actigraphy), movement and fragmentation index (nightly actigraphy), age (years), race, gender, BMI (kg/m2), depression, mental status, bodily pain in the last 30 days (yes/no), cardiovascular disease at the year 6 visit (yes/no), self-reported respiratory symptoms (yes/no), self-reported diabetes (yes/no), self reported number of times up each night, fatigue score. Only variables with a significance level of P ≤ 0.10 in univariate, logistic regression, or mixed-model analyses are shown here.
