Abstract

In this study, we investigated the self-reported (questionnaire-based) prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS) and the prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) in the context of demographics and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the general population of Alonissos, a non-profit line island in Greece (i.e., with scarce boat transportation to the mainland). In this cross-sectional study, 236 inhabitants of Alonissos participated (circa 10% of the island's population), and 115 males and 121 females were evaluated with appropriate questionnaires for OSAS, COPD, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet and subsequently underwent spirometry testing to establish COPD diagnosis. The self-reported prevalence of OSAS and COPD was 9.44% and 18.8%, respectively. However, only 8.99% of the participants were diagnosed with COPD based on their spirometry testing. Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet was moderate. The high prevalence of COPD and OSAS in this underprivileged island in terms of healthcare access highlights the need for improvements in health promotion and primary healthcare provision in non-profit line Greek islands.

摘要

在本研究中，我们调查了希腊非营利性线状岛屿阿洛尼索斯普通人群中自我报告的（基于问卷）阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）患病率以及慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患病率，同时考虑了人口统计学因素以及对地中海饮食的依从性（该岛与大陆之间的船只交通稀少）。在这项横断面研究中，236名阿洛尼索斯居民参与其中（约占该岛人口的10%），115名男性和121名女性接受了针对OSAS、COPD以及对地中海饮食依从性的适当问卷调查，随后进行了肺活量测定以确诊COPD。自我报告的OSAS和COPD患病率分别为9.44%和18.8%。然而，根据肺活量测定，只有8.99%的参与者被诊断为COPD。对地中海饮食的依从性为中等。在这个医疗保健可及性较差的岛屿上，COPD和OSAS的高患病率凸显了希腊非营利性线状岛屿改善健康促进和初级医疗保健服务的必要性。
