Table 2.

Age-adjusted difference between subset of morning and evening types. Due to the significant difference in age between the morning and evening types in our sample, we included age in our statistical model when determining whether there were differences between the two chronotypes. The difference between evening and morning types (mean ± standard error) and the associated P value are presented. We calculated the mean value for each group by adjusting both groups to age 35 years, which was the average age of the neither type group of participants
