  1. Adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, gender, fasting glucose, C reactive protein, smoke, coronary heart disease, cancer, snorting, total spine bone mineral density (BMD).
  2. BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval.
  3. aLength were the reference group.
  4. bβ coefficient can be interpreted as differences in the mean TBS comparing subjects in the other 4 groups of sleep duration to those in the 7-h sleep length.
  5. Asterisks indicate statistical significance: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
