To identify predictive factors for obstructive sleep apnea in university students.
Analytical, observational, cross-sectional study, conducted from August 2018 to February 2019. 144 students of both genders, informed of purposes and procedures, signed consent forms to participate. Procedures included measuring body mass index, abdominal, and neck circumference; inspecting tongue and oropharynx with Mallampati modified classification; answering Berlin questionnaire.
63.9% had normal body mass index; 19.4% were overweight. 59.7% had normal abdominal circumference; 89.6%, normal neck circumference. 65.3% presented Mallampati class I V. 74.3% indicated no obstructive sleep apnea; 25.7% were at high risk. High risk for obstructive sleep apnea associated with body mass index (p<0.001), abdominal (p=0.006), and neck circumference (p<0.001).
Anthropometries were mostly normal, despite the high prevalence of changed Mallampati classification. Positively correlated predictive factors, also associated with high risk for obstructive sleep apnea, reinforce the need for such preventive measures in youth.
确定大学生阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的预测因素。
2018年8月至2019年2月进行的分析性、观察性横断面研究。144名男女学生被告知目的和程序后签署了参与同意书。程序包括测量体重指数、腹围和颈围;用改良的马兰帕蒂分类法检查舌头和口咽;回答柏林问卷。
63.9%的人体重指数正常;19.4%超重。59.7%的人腹围正常;89.6%的人颈围正常。65.3%的人表现为马兰帕蒂I级IV级。74.3%的人表示无阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停;25.7%的人处于高风险。阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的高风险与体重指数(p<0.001)、腹围(p=0.006)和颈围(p<0.001)相关。
尽管马兰帕蒂分类改变的患病率较高,但人体测量大多正常。呈正相关的预测因素,也与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的高风险相关,强化了在年轻人中采取此类预防措施的必要性。
