The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with sleep apnea among US male veterans. We used data from the 2005-2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to conduct survey-weighted descriptive, bivariate, and regression analyses. The prevalence of sleep apnea increased from 3.7% to 8.1% (P for trend <.001 for adjusted model) from 2005 through 2014. Increasing severity of psychological distress and unmet mental health care need were associated with increased odds of sleep apnea, as was a diagnosis of asthma. Increased screening of sleep health is critical to improve the health outcomes of veterans.
本研究的目的是评估美国男性退伍军人中睡眠呼吸暂停的患病率及其相关因素。我们使用了2005 - 2014年全国药物使用和健康调查的数据进行调查加权描述性、双变量和回归分析。从2005年到2014年，睡眠呼吸暂停的患病率从3.7%上升到了8.1%（调整模型的趋势P值<.001）。心理困扰严重程度增加、心理健康护理需求未得到满足以及哮喘诊断均与睡眠呼吸暂停几率增加相关。加强睡眠健康筛查对于改善退伍军人的健康状况至关重要。
