Abstract
Background and Objectives
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasing and those have been recognized as potential risk factors for cardiovascular disease in adults. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and metabolic syndrome.
Materials and Method
We enrolled 127 adults who were evaluated as having OSA. Each subject underwent overnight polysomnography to identify OSA based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI); OSA was diagnosed when AHI≥5, and subjects with AHI＜5 were classified as the control group. MS was defined according to the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria.
Results
Among 127 participants, 105 subjects were diagnosed with OSA. The mean age and smoker percentage showed differences between the OSA and control group. The prevalence of MS was significantly higher in the OSA group compared to the control group. As the severity of OSA increases, the prevalence of MS also increase.
