OR, Odds ratio; CI, Confidence interval; N-type, intermediate-type; E-type, evening-type; TST-Sch D, Total sleep time in scheduled days. # Only significant covariates were presented and controlled in the multivariate analyses. Ψ Presented univariate analyses because there was no identified confounder. ^ Outliers were excluded from the analyses. * Analysis could not be performed because one of the cells was reported to be 0.
