Association of Serum Ferritin Levels With Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Overweight/Obese US Populations: A Population-Based Study From the NHANES
Ferritin levels in overweight/obese individuals show a U-shaped relationship with OSA risk, and elevated levels correlate with increased all-cause mortality in female overweight/obese OSA patients. In the future, further research is needed to explore the potential associations between ferritin, inflammation, obesity, and OSA.
