Sequential Multivariate Analysis of Body Composition by Quartiles of SWS

Outcomes N Quartile of slow wave sleep (SWS as a % of total sleep time)
*P-value for trend
Quartile 1 0 to ≤ 3.8% Quartile 2 > 3.8 to ≤ 9.9% Quartile 3 > 9.9 to ≤ 16.7% Quartile 4 > 16.7%
Model 1

    Weight (kg) 2743 83.3 82.1 82.4 80.5 0.0001
    Waist circumference (cm) 2739 100.3 99.3 99.6 98.8 0.02
Model 3
    BMI (kg/m2) 2743 27.4 27.1 27.3 26.8 0.0095
    Weight (kg) 2743 83.0 82.2 82.5 80.6 0.001
    Waist circumference (cm) 2739 100.0 99.3 99.7 98.9 0.089

Model 1: adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, PASE, clinic

Model 2: adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, PASE, clinic, TST and sleep efficiency

Model 3: adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, PASE, clinic, TST, sleep efficiency and SDB

Results unchanged when TST used as categorical (rather than continuous) variable (data not shown)

*P-value for linear regression (assessing linear trend across quartiles of SWS)
