However, when adjusting for demographic variables, particularly the age of respondents, the robustness of the significance diminishes for visible minority native-born (aOR=1.07, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.05), while becoming significant for white established immigrants (aOR=0.79, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.01). Despite remaining largely consistent after accounting for socioeconomic, behavioural, and health characteristics, the significance for visible minority recent immigrants (aOR=0.69, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.05) and white established immigrants (aOR=0.82, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.05) is substantially explained when considering BMI. Based on these findings, we discuss implications for policymakers and suggest avenues for future research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74809,"journal":{"name":"Sleep epidemiology","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100089"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667343624000179/pdfft?md5=b614096aa591d3af7d6d2168740f40a2&pid=1-s2.0-S2667343624000179-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141291088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
