Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) and overall p-values obtained by multinomial logistic regression analyses are presented. Reference category: persistent moderate sleepers (n = 2065). All odds ratios were adjusted for gender, age, marital status, level of education, work status, smoking status, alcohol consumption, leisure-time physical activity, and BMI at baseline. Statistically significant results are highlighted in bold (p < .05).
