Outcome of reduced sleep efficiency (≤88% on actigraphy)*

  Model 1 Model 2 Model 3
PM2.5 1 yr prior n = 1,822 n = 1,750 n = 1,750
 Per 5 μg/m3 PM2.5 1.34 (0.91–1.98) 1.00 (0.63–1.58) 0.92 (0.53–1.60)
PM2.5 5 yr prior n = 1,843 n = 1,770 n = 1,770
 Per 5 μg/m3 PM2.5 1.51 (1.09–2.09) 1.28 (0.88–1.87) 1.07 (0.59–1.93)
Short-term PM2.5 n = 1,811 n = 1,711  
 PM2.5 day prior 1.00 (0.98–1.02) 1.01 (0.98–1.04) 1.01 (0.98–1.04)
 PM2.5 day of polysomnography 1.01 (0.98–1.03) 0.99 (0.97–1.02) 1.01 (0.98–1.03)

Definition of abbreviation: PM2.5 = particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter.

PM2.5 exposure estimates (in 5 μg/m3 units), averaged over 1–5 years before sleep assessment, presented as odds ratio (95% confidence interval).

*

Adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, obstructive sleep apnea (apnea–hypopnea index ≥ 15) (model 1); model 1 plus race/ethnicity, income, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, short sleep duration (<6 h), and residential socioeconomic status (model 2); model 2 plus site (model 3).

Short-term PM2.5 values are citywide levels from the day of and day before overnight polysomnography. The values have been preadjusted for seasonal and meteorological trends.

P < 0.05.
