Multiple linear regression model^* of sleep quality on aPWV, AAD, and DAD levels (N = 908)

	aPWV (m/s)			AAD (%/mmHg)			DAD (%/mmHg)
	β	95% CI	P	β	95% CI	P	β	95% CI	P
Sleep efficiency (%)	0.01	−0.06 to 0.09	0.703	−0.01	−0.03 to 0.02	0.553	−0.00	−0.03 to 0.02	0.785
WASO (minutes)	0.01	−0.00 to 0.03	0.135	−0.00	−0.01 to 0.00	0.968	0.00	−0.01 to 0.01	0.942

aPWV, aortic pulse wave velocity; AAD, ascending aortic distensibility; DAD, descending aortic distensibility; WASO, wake after sleep onset.

^*Adjusted for age, gender, race, body mass index, smoking, anti-hypertensive medication use, systolic blood pressure measured at MRI exam, fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, lipid lowering medicine use, left ventricular ejection fraction, and Apnea-Hypopnea index.
