Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) disorder, affects at least 25 million adults in the United States and is associated with increased risk for hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Racial/ethnic minorities have a disproportionate burden of OSA along with the health sequelae associated with this condition. Despite supporting evidence of racial/ethnic disparities, few studies have investigated SDB including OSA among minoritized racial/ethnic groups. In this scoping review of the literature, the authors summarize current findings related to racial/ethnic disparities in OSA, identified social and environmental determinants of health, treatment inequities, and promising evidence-based interventions and conclude with future research directions.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)是一种睡眠呼吸障碍(SDB)疾病,影响了美国至少 2500 万成年人,并且与高血压、糖尿病和心血管疾病(CVD)的风险增加有关。少数族裔承受着 OSA 以及与这种疾病相关的健康后果不成比例的负担。尽管有支持种族/族裔差异的证据,但很少有研究调查包括少数族裔群体在内的 SDB。在对文献的范围审查中,作者总结了与 OSA 中的种族/族裔差异相关的现有发现、确定了健康的社会和环境决定因素、治疗不平等以及有前途的基于证据的干预措施,并得出了未来的研究方向。
