Model A is the core model adjusted for age, sex, and years of education. Models B, C, and D all build upon model A by additionally including nighttime sleep factors (B), comorbidities (C), and cardiovascular diseases and risk factors (D), respectively. Model E is the full model with all covariates adjusted.

HF indicates heart failure; and HR, hazard ratio.
