Data are presented as mean (SD) and proportions for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. t test and chi‐square were used, as appropriate, to calculate the P values. All data adjusted by sampling weight, except number of cases (N) across groups. Obesity=body mass index ≥30 m2/kg. Hypercholesterolemia=elevated total cholesterol levels (≥200 mg/dL). Hypertriglyceridemia=elevated triglycerides levels (≥150 mg/dL). Glucose dysregulation=elevated fasting glucose levels (≥100 mg/dL) or treatment for diabetes mellitus. High blood pressure=elevated blood pressure levels (≥130/85 mm Hg) or antihypertensive treatment. BMI indicates body mass index; SDB, sleep disordered breathing (apnea/hypopnea index ≥5 events per hour of sleep).
