Polysomnographic evaluation of sleep quality and quantitative variables in women as a function of mood, reproductive status, and age

Figures & data

Table I Distribution of age ranges and mean (SD), Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Seasonal.

Figure 1. Mean + SEM polysomnography (PSG) measures as a function of reproductive status. P-values denote Bonferroni-adjusted significance of differences from menstrual mean (A - D) or postpartum mean (E).

Table II F-ratios and P-values for analyses of effects of reproductive status (RS: menstrual vs pregnant vs postpartum vs menopausal) and age category (19-27, 28-36, 37-45, 46+) on polysomnographic (PSG) variables, covariate adjustment was applied when the covariate (age, for reproductive status; reproductive status, for age category) was significant at P<. 10. Significant effects (P<.05) are highlighted in bold. * Results of analyses with covariate, where the P-value of the age covariate was P<.10. + Results of analyses with covariate, where the P-value of the RS covariate was P<.10.

Figure 2. Mean + SEM REM percentage in norma! controls and depressed patients as a function of reproductive status.

Figure 3. Mean + SEM polysomnography measures as a function of age category. P-values denote Bonferroni-adjusted significance of differences from menopausal mean.
