Values are: Standardized β coefficients (Unstandardized β coefficients). Model adjusted for age, race, financial strain, menopausal status, use of medications that affect sleep, body mass index, and depressive symptoms.

Natural log transformed prior to analyses. For dummy-coded variables (i.e., marital status), the unstandardized β coefficient indicates the value of the increase or decrease in the predicted outcome relative to the referent group (married), after adjustment for covariates.

Higher scores reflect greater movement during the sleep period (range 0-150).
