Sleep deprivation showed a significant increase in age (p<0.01). snoring showed a significant increase in body mass index (p<0.01). By multiple logistic regression analysis, insomnia showed a significant increase in age (odds ratio- fifties 1.73) and shift work (odds ratio 2.20). Sleep deprivation showed a significant increase in age (odds ratio- fifties 1.98). Snoring showed a significant increase in body mass index (odds ratio- obesity 2.24).
