A sociodemographic index identifies sex-related effects on insomnia in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Sex differences are related to both biological factors and the gendered environment. We constructed measures to model sex-related differences beyond binary sex.

Methods

Data came from the baseline visit of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). We applied the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator penalized logistic regression of male versus female sex over sociodemographic, acculturation, and psychological factors jointly. Two "gendered indices," the gendered index of sociodemographic environment (GISE) and gendered index of psychological and sociodemographic environment, summarizing the sociodemographic environment (GISE) and psychosocial and sociodemographic environment (GIPSE) associated with sex, were calculated by sum
