All values are presented as mean (SD) unless stated otherwise; chi-square tests were used to test differences between groups for categorical variables, and analysis of variance was used to test differences between groups for continuous variables. BMI, body mass index; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; ESS, Epworth Sleepiness Scale; ISI, Insomnia Severity Index.

*None, normal scores on the PSQI, ISI, and ESS; Moderate, abnormal sleep on one of the sleep questionnaires; High, abnormal sleep on at least two of the three sleep questionnaires.

Sample size with known APOE status = 754.
