Association coefficients are shown as βs (95% CIs). β represents the change in total energy (in kcal per day) macronutrient intake (in g per day) per each additional change in sleep fragmentation or sleep efficiency. Bold type indicates significant values. Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval.

Model 1: adjusted for sex, age, BMI, and total energy intake (except for when assessing total energy intake as an outcome).

3

Model 2: adjusted for Model 1 covariates and smoking status, education level, alcohol intake, coffee intake, daytime napping, depressive symptoms, physical activity, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes status.
