Table 2. Frailty According to the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI).
Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) | |||
---|---|---|---|
Sleep Questionnaire | n/N (%) | Unadjusted | Adjusted* |
ESS score | |||
<10 (no drowsiness) | 90/279 (32.3) | 1.00 | |
≥10 (daytime drowsiness) | 56/87 (64.4) | 3.79 (2.29–6.29) | 3.67 (2.03–6.61)† |
ISI score | |||
<8 (no insomnia) | 81/212 (38.2) | 1.00 | |
8–14 (subthreshold insomnia) | 48/122 (39.3) | 1.05 (0.66–1.66) | 0.89 (0.51–1.55) |
>14 (clinical insomnia) | 24/38 (63.2) | 2.77 (1.36–5.67) | 1.93 (0.81–4.61) |
Based on a logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, cognitive impairment (Mini-Mental State Examination score <24), number of chronic conditions, self-reported health status, depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale score ≥16), and use of a medication with adverse central nervous system effects; a variable for number of medications was entered into the multivariable model but was highly nonsignificant (P > .50) and was deleted from the reported model.
An interaction term crossing the self-reported health status covariate with the ESS main predictor was statistically significant (P = .02) in a separate adjusted model; the odds ratio for the ESS predictor for participants with fair to poor health was 8.92 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.25–24.46), and for those with good to excellent health, it was 2.11 (95% CI = 0.99–4.48).
