Vitamin D deficiency and subsequent risk of obstructive sleep apnea: a multi-institutional retrospective study
Sustained VDD was independently associated with OSA risk, with temporal consistency and dose-response relationships supporting potential causality. The effects were most pronounced in women, younger adults, and overweight/obese individuals, suggesting that targeted assessment and intervention strategies may be warranted in these high-risk subgroups.
