Longitudinal Fatigue Symptoms and Inflammatory Markers in African American Adults With Hypertension and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Findings indicate that hypertension is linked to increased fatigue upon diagnosis of OSA in this sample of African American adults. Fatigue in persons with hypertension improved after treatment in this sample. These hypothesis-generating findings can inform future interventional studies aimed at improving fatigue among persons with OSA while leveraging markers linked to fatigue symptom severity as potential objective markers of improvements. Further research on the role of inflammatory markers, such as IL-6, on fatigue symptom presentations is warranted in persons with OSA.
