A multifactorial approach to sleep and its association with health-related quality of life in a multiethnic Asian working population : a cross-sectional analysis

This study aims to explore if objectively and subjectively measured sleep parameters are associated with physical and mental health-related quality of life in a multiethnic working population in Singapore. We performed a cross-sectional analysis with data from 329 full-time employees enrolled in a w...
