Association between sleep problems and CSF biomarkers
| CSF Biomarker | SPI Score | |
|---|---|---|
| β (SE) | p | |
| Aβ42 | −5.23 (29.95) | .862 |
| t-tau | 26.30 (15.71) | .099 |
| p-tau | 4.49 (1.98) | .027 |
| t-tau/Aβ42 | .11 (.05) | .021 |
| p-tau/Aβ42 | .02 (.01) | .009 |
Models were adjusted for age at GXT, sex, APOE ε4 status, and time interval between sleep and CSF assessments.
CSF=cerebrospinal fluid; SPI=Sleep Problems Index I; β=regression estimate; SE=standard error; Aβ42=amyloid-beta 42; t-tau=total tau; p-tau=phosphorylated tau; GXT=graded exercise test; APOE ε4= the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene
