Time-to-event Cox proportional hazards survival models

HR (95% CI): Hazard ratios (95% confidence interval)

Model 1: adjusted for age

Model 2: adjusted for age, nap duration, Beck Depression Inventory (only in men), education (only in men), exercise (only in men), smoking (only in women), alcohol consumption, and medical history of hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer

Model 3: adjusted for Model 2 plus use of sleep-related medications (sedating antidepressants, antianxiety drugs, and hypnotics) and postmenopausal estrogen (only in women)
