Non vs. Short nappers −0.10 −0.46, 0.26 .582
Non vs. Moderate nappers −0.22 −0.44, 0.00 .054
Short vs. Moderate nappers −0.12 −0.48, 0.24 .518
Non vs. Extended nappers 0.41 0.09, 0.73 .011

Notes: Estimates are from the final parsimonious model adjusting for significant predictors (age, gender, education, BMI, depression, IADL, morbidity, and baseline cognition). Bold values represent p < .05.

aModel estimated within group mean change.

bEstimate of difference in change scores between indicated groups.

p-value testing whether within group mean change is different from 0 or within group odds ratio is different from 1; p-value testing whether there is a significant difference in changes between groups; **p-values for overall associations represent the probability of any significant differences in changes among the four baseline napping groups.
