Sleep Disturbances and Mortality: Results from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To cross-validate, in a secondary analysis, the observation that daytime sleepiness is associated with an increased risk of death. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Canada, a nationally representative sample of people age 65 and older. PARTICIPANTS: Nine thousand and eight community-dwelling participants in the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. EXPOSURES: self-reported sleep disturbances. OUTCOMES: Cox hazard ratios (HRs) for death. RESULTS: The unadjusted analysis showed a small increased risk of death from daytime sleepiness (HR = 1.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.44-2.46), but this finding did not persist in a multivariate model adjusted for age, depression, cognition, comorbid illness, and function. CONCLUSION: Daytime sleepiness itself is not associated with an increased risk of death when other factors are taken into account. Daytime sleepiness may be a proxy for other morbid conditions and therefore for overall tiredness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
