Participants were from the MIDUS Ⅱstudy (Midlife in the United States) recruited in 2004-2006 (Mean age＝55.97; N＝3946). Hierarchical multiple regression was performed with SMC as the dependent variable, along with ST as the independent variable. The study revealed that SMCs were strongly related to ST, while controlling gender, year of birth and level of education completed as covariates. In addition, different results were achieved in older versus younger groups, in female versus male groups and in lower versus higher levels of education completed. Older female participants with a lower level of education completed had more sleep trouble and higher frequency of subjective memory complaints.
