Prevalence and Predictors of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Men and Women from an Outpatient Clinic Cohort: Focus on Clinical Characteristics, Cardiovascular Disease, and Serum Biomarkers
More than half of patients with OSA had features of metabolic syndrome, evenly distributed between men and women. This requires strict control of cardiometabolic risk factors in both sexes. There were different predictors of OSA in men and women. This highlights a possible sex difference in the pathophysiology of OSA.
