Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors in Japanese men: A cross-sectional study in work-site group

Abstract: It has been shown that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is related to hypertension and cardiovascular disease; however, the prevalence of OSA in general population and the impact of it on blood pressure especially in Japan has not been well determined. We have conducted a screening test for OSA from 2003 to 2011. In addition, a cross-sectional analysis was performed in 2012 to determine the association of OSA and cardiovascular risk factors in Japanese men (18-69 years of age; mean age, 44.4 ± 0.2). The study gro… Show more

“…Another cross-sectional study involving 2740 adults in Korea [ 50 ] identified the “high risk” individuals as being older aged and having a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 for OSA. Several other studies that involved large samples included a cross-sectional study ( n = 2208) in Japan addressing the association between hypertension and OSA [ 42 ], a multicenter study ( n = 1877) in Europe looking for the effects of OSA severity and other comorbidities on sleep pattern [ 51 ], a prospective cohort study ( n = 1825) in Korea determining the association between hypertension with OSA in patients with high levels of homocysteine in the blood [ 36 ], and a cross-sectional study ( n = 1272) in Belgium determining the prevalence of hypertension with insomnia [ 32 ].…”

Morinaga et al, 2018 [ 42 ] Japan Cross-sectional study 2208 men (mean age, 44.4 ± 0.2 years) Hypertension The prevalence of mild-to-moderate (AHI of 5–29) and severe (AHI ≥ 30) OSA in the studied subjects were 7.1%, and 6.1%, respectively. Associations between hypertension and OSA were observed after adjustments for age, body mass index (BMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate, current alcohol intake, current smoking habits, and OSA treatment.…”

“…In a Japanese study, 2208 males were enrolled, similar to our situation where males predominated. In that study, the prevalence rates of mild-to-moderate (5 ≤ AHI < 30) and severe (AHI ≥ 30) OSA were 7.1 and 6.1%, respectively [ 16 ]. Although the number of recruited males outnumbered that of females, similar to our study, the Japanese prevalence rate was higher.…”

“…In a Japanese study of 2208 males, the prevalence of severe (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥30) OSA in the studied subjects was 6.1%. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly increased in subjects with severe OSA compared with those without OSA [ 16 ].…”

“…1,2 The main symptoms that can occur in OSAS patients are loud snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness so it can disrupt the quality of life and performance. 1,3 Some risk factors that can cause OSAS are obesity, age, neck circumference, and anatomic airway abnormalities. 4,5 OSAS is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and stroke.…”
