Note: Higher global and component scores indicate greater disturbance; global scores >5 suggest clinically significant disturbance.
p < .05 compared with the first category (age 65–69 or education less than high school).
p < .05 compared with the second category (age 70–74 or education = high school).
p < .05 compared with the third category (age 75–79 or education = some college). PSQI = Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
