Numerous studies have indicated that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), may contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes. Moreover, OSAS has been associated with lowered vitamin D (Vit D) levels, but reports are inconclusive. Aim of the study was to compare Vit D levels according to the presence of MetS and its components in OSAS patients.
The presence of MetS was evaluated and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were measured in consecutive newly diagnosed, by polysomnography, subjects with OSAS.
A total of 107 subjects (88 men) with OSAS were included in the study. Patients were divided into group A (OSAS with MetS group: 55 subjects) and group B (OSAS without MetS: 52 subjects). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, body mass index, and sleep parameters. Patients in group A exhibited higher levels of daytime sleepiness, as expressed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (12 ± 5.5 vs. 9.3 ± 4.8 for groups A vs. B, p = 0.008). Serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly decreased in group A, as compared with group B (18 ± 8.6 ng/mL vs. 23.9 ± 14.1 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.012). Group A was then subdivided in two smaller groups, according to patients' metabolic index: OSAS patients with metabolic score = 3 and OSAS patients with metabolic score >3. Serum 25(OH)D levels were higher in OSAS patients with metabolic score = 3 compared with OSAS patients with metabolic score >3 (19.8 ± 8.9 ng/mL vs. 15.1 ± 7.3 ng/mL respectively, p = 0.038).
OSAS patients with concurrent MetS exhibit lower serum Vit D levels, as compared with those without MetS.
大量研究表明,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)可能会促使代谢综合征(MetS)和糖尿病的发展。此外,OSAS与维生素D(Vit D)水平降低有关,但相关报道尚无定论。本研究的目的是比较OSAS患者中根据是否存在MetS及其组成成分的Vit D水平。
对连续新诊断的经多导睡眠图检查的OSAS受试者评估是否存在MetS,并测量血清25-羟基维生素D [25(OH)D]水平。
本研究共纳入107例OSAS受试者(88例男性)。患者分为A组(伴有MetS的OSAS组:55例受试者)和B组(不伴有MetS的OSAS组:52例受试者)。两组在年龄、体重指数和睡眠参数方面无差异。A组患者的日间嗜睡程度更高,用Epworth嗜睡量表评分表示(A组与B组分别为12±5.5 vs. 9.3±4.8,p = 0.008)。与B组相比,A组血清25(OH)D水平显著降低(分别为18±8.6 ng/mL vs. 23.9±14.1 ng/mL,p = 0.012)。然后根据患者的代谢指数将A组再细分为两个较小的组:代谢评分=3的OSAS患者和代谢评分>3的OSAS患者。代谢评分=3的OSAS患者的血清25(OH)D水平高于代谢评分>3的OSAS患者(分别为19.8±8.9 ng/mL vs. 15.1±7.3 ng/mL,p = 0.038)。
与不伴有MetS的OSAS患者相比,并发MetS的OSAS患者血清Vit D水平较低。
