Is there an association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and obstructive sleep apnoea? A cross-sectional analysis of NHANES 2007–2008 data
The study found no significant association between 25(OH)D and OSA. The observed correlation between lower levels of 25(OH)D and OSA may be due to confounding factors, such as higher BMI in the OSA group. Therefore, improving obesity management in OSA patients may be necessary to prevent 25(OH)D insufficiency. This underscores the importance of comprehensive management of both OSA and obesity to promote optimal health outcomes.
