Predicting Cardiometabolic Risk in Mild-to-Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Inflammation vs. Apnea/Hypopnea Index
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the relative contribution of systemic inflammation vs. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) severity (as measured by Apnea Hypopnea Index) in predicting cardiovascular and metabolic aberrations associated with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Presence of the metabolic syndrome [baseline]
At least 3 of the following 5 risk factors must be met in order to have the metabolic syndrome: Elevated waist measurement (≥102 cm for men or ≥89 cm for women) Elevated triglycerides (≥150 mg/dL or use of medication) Low HDL cholesterol (<50 mg/dL for women or <40 mg/dL for men or use of medication) Elevated blood pressure (≥130 mmHg systolic or ≥ 85 mmHg diastolic or use of medication) Elevated fasting blood sugar (≥100 mg/dL or use of medication) Source: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/ms
