Model 1 Unadjusted. Model 2 adjusted for age, sex, school, father's education, mother's education. Model 3 adjusted for variables in Model 2 and daytime sleepiness.

#

Daytime sleepiness and SDB entered Model 1 and 2 separately.

SDB: sleep disordered breathing; OR: odds ratio.

*

P value of correlation is < 0.05.

**

P value of correlation is < 0.01.

***

P value of correlation is < 0.001.

Both self- and parent-reported SDB as well as daytime sleepiness were associated with depression and anxiety. In adjusted models, the magnitudes and statistical significance of the associations changed, parent-reported SDB in particular.
