a Results of linear models represent the change in total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (points), sleep onset latency (m), sleep efficiency (%), or sleep disturbances per 1 point increase in MUFA to SFA ration, 1% increase in kcal from unsaturated and saturated fat, or 1 g increase in animal protein, plant protein, and fiber intakes (per 1000 kcal). b Multivariable linear regression models adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), race/ethnicity, education, and health insurance status. c Multivariable linear regression models adjusted for corresponding sleep variable at baseline, age, BMI, race/ethnicity, education, and health insurance status. SE: Standard Error.
