aMultivariate Model 1 includes age, female gender, BMI, socioeconomic status, H. pylori reinfection, cardiovascular disease, excessive alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, and change in the levels of social engagement as covariates, and poor sleep quality as the major independent variable.

bMultivariate Model 2 includes age, female gender, BMI, socioeconomic status, H. pylori reinfection, cardiovascular disease, excessive alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms, Generalized Anxiety Disorders as covariates; poor sleep quality and change in the levels of social engagement as the main effect; and poor sleep quality × change in the levels of social engagement as the tested interaction effect.
