Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)

*

Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed)

Sleep Efficiencya = ratio of time in bed to time asleep in minutes.

TST b = total sleep time in minutes per polysomnography.

SOLc = minutes until onset of sleep.

WASO d = minutes of wake after sleep onset.

MMSE e = Mini Mental State Exam.

LOA f = Level of assistance required. Lower scores indicate more assistance required.

Gait Speed g = speed in seconds to walk six meters.
