  1. All models are constructed using negative binomial regression analysis. Model 1: Adjusted for age, centre, n = 2393; Model 2: Adjusted for age, centre, BMI, pain, depression, alcohol and smoking, n = 1903; Model 3: Same as model 2 but additionally adjusted for total testosterone, n = 1885; Model 4: Same as model 3 but mutually adjusted for both sleep quality and sleep duration, n = 1885
