a Continuous variables are presented as median (inter-quartile range). To test statistical significance between women with insomnia symptoms vs. those without insomnia symptoms, we used a t-test for a continuous variable (variables labeled with a, such as pessimism) and chi-squared test for a categorical variable (variables not labeled with a, such as education). Abbreviations: KCAL: Kilo Calorie, ER.: estrogen receptor-positive, PR: progesterone receptor-positive; PRAL potential renal acid load, NEAP net endogenous acid production.
