Abstract:
Objective To investigate possible independent association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods According to polysomnography (PSG) examination, 82 obese patients were divided into OSAHS group (n = 55) and non OSAHS group (n = 27) and 30subjects with normal weight were recruited as the control group. PSG parameters such as AHI (apnea hyponea index), oxygen saturation (Spo2,) in obese patients were measured. MS-associated parameters, such as fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), plasma lipid profile, insulin homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and blood pressure, height, body weight, waist circumference, were measured in all cases. The prevalence of MS and the parameters were compared among different groups. The correlations between them were analyzed. Results The prevalence of MS in obese patients with OSAHS was significantly higher than that in obese patients without OSAHS (69.09% vs 37.04%, P <0.01). Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), FBG and HOMA-IR were higher in subjects with OSAHS than those without OSAHS (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Multiple stepwise regression showed that DBP was negatively correlated with Spo2, FINS and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with AHI. Conclusion OSAHS is found to be independently associated with MS, which may be a risk factor of cardiovascular disease and other systemic diseases.
