For each model, the first three principle components identified from the analysis of ancestry informative markers as well as self-report race/ethnicity (White, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic/Mixed background/Other) were retained in all models to adjust for potential confounding due to race or ethnicity (data not shown). Predictors evaluated in the model included genotype (IL6 rs35610689: AA versus AG+GG; NFKB2 rs7897947: TT versus TG + GG), age (5 year increments), and functional status (KPS score, 10 point increments). Patient versus family caregiver (FC) status could not be included in the regression analyses because no FCs were included in the higher sleep disturbance class.
