To realize the characteristics of symptoms and polysomnography in women with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) compared with that of male patients.
The symptoms and polysomnography were compared between men and women with SAHS and among mild (5 to 19 events/h), moderate (20 to 39 events/h), severe (> or = 40 events/h) of female patients.
Female patients were older than that of male(51.1 +/- 11.2 yr versus 43.9 +/- 10.1 yr). The mean body mass index(BMI) for women was (27.8 +/- 3.9) kg/m2 and (28.1 +/- 3.8) kg/m2 for men. Women with higher AHI snored more severely, and female had a lower apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and apnea index (AI) but higher hypopnea index (HI) than did male. In addition, the respiratory events during non-rapid eye movement for men were significantly higher than that for women.
Female patients are older than male but not more adipose. SAHS and respiratory events during NREM sleep are less severe in women.
了解女性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（SAHS）患者与男性患者相比的症状特点及多导睡眠图特征。
比较SAHS男性和女性患者之间以及女性患者轻度（5至19次/小时）、中度（20至39次/小时）、重度（≥40次/小时）之间的症状及多导睡眠图。
女性患者年龄大于男性（51.1±11.2岁对43.9±10.1岁）。女性平均体重指数（BMI）为（27.8±3.9）kg/m²，男性为（28.1±3.8）kg/m²。AHI较高的女性打鼾更严重，女性的呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）和呼吸暂停指数（AI）低于男性，但低通气指数（HI）高于男性。此外，男性非快速眼动期的呼吸事件显著高于女性。
女性患者年龄大于男性，但肥胖程度不更高。女性的SAHS及非快速眼动睡眠期呼吸事件较轻。
