a

N varies as a consequence of missing values.

b

If the CES-D score was ≥ 16 but in the presence of missing questionnaire items, participants were classified as having high levels of depressive symptoms (i.e., included as a categorical variable), whereas their continuous scores were considered missing (i.e., not included in the calculation of mean values).

c

These were self-reported, physician diagnosed, and selected on the basis of their known associations with sleep-wake disturbances.1,2,4,7,8

d

Asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or COPD.
