“…The prevalence of high-risk for OSA in our study appears to be similar to one other African study [26]. Sogebi et al (2012) in their study among Nigerian outpatients found a 17.4% prevalence of high-risk for OSA using the Berlin questionnaire [26]. Future studies are needed to evaluate the personal, environmental and social risk factors of high-risk for OSA in sub-Saharan Africa.…”

Background The Berlin and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) are simple, validated, and widely used questionnaires designed to assess symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) a common but often unrecognized cause of morbidity and mortality. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 2,639 college students to examine the extent to which symptoms of OSAS are associated with the odds of common mental disorders (CMDs). The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used to evaluate the presence of CMDs while the Berlin and ESS were used to assess high-risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and excessive daytime sleepiness, respectively. Logistic regression procedures were used to derive odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) assessing the independent and joint associations of high-risk for OSA and excessive daytime sleepiness with odds of CMDs. Results Approximately 19% of students had high-risk for OSA while 26.4% had excessive daytime sleepiness. Compared to students without high-risk for OSA and without excessive daytime sleepiness (referent group), students with excessive daytime sleepiness only (OR=2.01; 95%CI: 1.60-2.52) had increased odds of CMDs. The odds of CMDs for students with high-risk OSA only was 1.26 (OR=1.26; 95%CI 0.94-1.68). Students with both high-risk for OSA and excessive daytime sleepiness, compared to the referent group, had the highest odds of CMDs (OR=2.45; 95%CI: 1.69-3.56). Conclusion Our findings indicate that symptoms of OSAS are associated with increased risk of CMDs. These findings emphasize the comorbidity of sleep disorders and CMDs and suggest that there may be benefits to investing in educational programs that extend the knowledge of sleep disorders in young adults.

“…However, the overall prevalence of OSA among obese individuals can be as high as 30% [25]. The prevalence of high-risk for OSA in our study appears to be similar to one other African study [26]. Sogebi et al (2012) in their study among Nigerian outpatients found a 17.4% prevalence of high-risk for OSA using the Berlin questionnaire [26].…”

“…Prevalence of high risk for OSA using Berlin questionnaire was 18%, and is higher than 10% reported from Pakistan, but it is comparable to 17.4% found in Southwestern Nigeria, 16.8% in Jordan and 20.9% in the United Arab Emirates (13,26,27). The prevalence of high risk for OSA is higher in the western world, as 26–36% was observed in the USA and Europe and 33–39% in Saudi Arabia (21, 23–24).…”

“…Adewole, et al in a community-based study in Abuja, Nigeria, found that 22% of men and 16% of women were at high risk for sleep apnoea and were likely to have obesity, sleepiness and chronic medical conditions (12). Other studies in southwestern Nigeria have also found a high prevalence of snoring and risk of OSA among hypertensive and heart failure subjects attending an outpatient clinic (13–15). …”

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children. It is associated with many adverse health consequences. The objectives this study were to determine the prevalence, awareness and reporting of symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea among hospitalized adult patients in Nigeria. METHODS: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study involving 1420 adult patients admitted to general medical and surgical wards of selected hospitals from March to April 2013. A questionnaire embedded with Berlin questionnaire, Epworth sleepiness scale and questions on level of awareness and reporting of symptoms of sleep apnoea was used for data collection. RESULTS: One-third of the patients (33.4%) reported snoring, 16.3% had excessive daytime sleepiness, 10.0% experienced daytime fatigue, and 8.0% experienced drowsy driving. Approximately 5% reported witnessed apnoea and 18.0% had high risks for obstructive sleep apnoea. The frequency of high risk for sleep apnoea increased with age and declined after 65 years and also increased with the body mass index. Snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and high risk for obstructive sleep apnoea were more common in patients with chronic medical conditions and who were admitted to the urban hospitals. The majority were not aware that snoring (77.3%) and excessive daytime sleepiness (65.8%) constitute a medical problem, and only 4.5% reported these symptoms to their doctors. CONCLUSIONS: The level of awareness and under-reporting of sleep apnoea symptoms are poor. The high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea symptoms from this study should form the basis for screening hospitalized patients with chronic medical condition across the country.

“…42 Alternatively several studies have noted an association between marital status especially being separated/divorced/widowed and OSA risk and OSA. 43–45 The relationship between OSA and anxiety is less apparent. Magnetic resonance T2-relaxometry identified more severe and additional brain deficits in patients exhibiting both anxiety and OSA, than patients with OSA alone.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea risk and psychological health among non-Hispanic blacks in the Metabolic Syndrome Outcome (MetSO) cohort study

Introduction This study assessed associations of depression and anxiety with risk of OSA among Non-Hispanic Blacks in the Metabolic Syndrome Outcome (MetSO) study. Method 1,035 patients provided data for the analysis. ARES™ score ≥ 6 defined high OSA risk. Moderate depression was defined by a CES-D score ≥ 16. Moderate anxiety was measured by a BAI score ≥ 16. Results The mean age was 62 ± 14 years; 70% were female. 93% were diagnosed with hypertension; 61%, diabetes; and 72%, dyslipidemia; 90% were overweight/obese; 33% had a history of heart disease and 10% had a stroke. Logistic regression analysis, adjusting for age and gender, showed that patients with depression had nearly a two-fold increased odds of being at risk for OSA (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.02–2.98, p < .05). Patients with anxiety had a three-fold increased odds of being at risk for OSA (OR = 3.30, 95% CI = 2.11–5.15, p < .01). After adjusting for marital status and income, patients with anxiety had a 6% increase in OSA risk (OR=1.06, 95% CI= 1.04–1.09, p<.05) but depression was no longer significant. Conclusion Our results suggest that Non-Hispanic Blacks with metabolic syndrome who experience anxiety and/or depression should be screened for OSA.
