Abstract
Long sleep duration has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. Inflammation and coagulation have been hypothesized as possible physiological pathways to explain this association, although specific biomarkers have not been studied. Using longitudinal data from 3942 postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Initiative observational study and clinical trials, we investigated whether fibrinogen, an acute-phase inflammatory protein involved in blood clotting, mediates the associations between sleep duration and coronary heart disease (CHD) and mortality among women. Fibrinogen levels were associated positively with self-reported long sleep duration (9+ h per night), CHD and all-cause mortality, even after adjustment for a range of sociodemographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities.Compared with self-reported 7-8 h per night sleep duration, self-reported long sleep duration was associated with increased odds of CHD [odds ratio (OR) = 2.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02-4.11]. Adjustment for fibrinogen levels reduced the increased odds of CHD associated with long sleep by approximately 8 percentage points (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 0.98-3.97). A similar reduction in the OR was observed with mortality. For both outcomes there is support for partial mediation of 6-7%, suggesting that fibrinogen may be a mechanism through which long sleep duration is associated with CHD and mortality.

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 it
