Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidants Contribute to Selected Sleep Quality and Cardiometabolic Health Relationships: A Cross-Sectional Study

Table 5

Indirect effect of mediators on the sleep quality-metabolic syndrome and sleep quality-number of MetS components relationship for women.

Mediators		(95%  )
	MetS	MetS	Number of MetS components
C-Reactive Protein (nM)	0.036	0.044	0.035

Bilirubin (µM)	0.003	0.003 (−0.005, 0.011)	0.005 (−0.005, 0.015)
Carotenoids (µM)	0.012	0.020 (0.000, 0.040)	0.017 (0.000, 0.033)

Vitamin E (µM)	−0.014	−0.032	−0.003 (−0.030, 0.024)

MetS is metabolic syndrome. is indirect effect. Significant for Joint test, and bold means significant for Sobel test.
