Table 2.

Unadjusted linear regression models of individual-level cortisol effect regressed on sleep measures for the National Sleep Life, Health and Aging (NSHAP) project Wave 2 from August 2010 to May 2011a.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; WASO, wake after sleep onset.

a N = 672.

bEach variable is a separate model.

cTroubled sleep scale is a combined metric (0 = never/rarely, 1 = sometimes, 2 = most of the time) including trouble falling asleep, trouble waking during the night, and trouble waking too early. Scores may range from 0 to 8, and the β estimates the effect of a 1-unit change in the score.
