A prospective observational study on the relationship between sleep deprivation and heart disease was done by Ayas, et. al. (Arch Intern Med 2003). Women who slept at most 5 hours a night were compared to women who slept for 8 hours a night (reference group). After adjusting for potential confounding variables like smoking, a 95% confidence interval for the relative risk of heart disease was (1.10, 1.92). Based on this confidence interval, a consistent conclusion would be
