Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) score was calculated utilizing risk factors for sleep apnea adapted from the Berlin Questionnaire. The scores ranged from 0 to 3 points and scores ≥2 were considered high risk for SBD and <2 low risk (Rissling MB, Gray KE, Ulmer C, et al. Sleep Disturbance, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Disease in Post-Menopausal Veteran Women. Gerontologist. 2016.56(Suppl 1):S54-66.)
