Abstract
Purpose: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is considered a notable independent risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders. The current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of new anthropometric indices, A Body Shape Index (ABSI) and the Body Roundness Index (BRI), in assessing cardiovascular risk (CVR) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among OSAS patients and to compare them with traditional indices.
Materials and methods: The records of 281 patients who consulted our sleep center were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were categorized according to OSA severity using AHI values. They were also classified based on cardiovascular conditions (CVR and CVD). ABSI, BRI, and traditional indices [such as body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC)] of the patient groups were evaluated.
Results: Of the 281 patients recruited, 218 (77.6%) were diagnosed with OSAS. The distribution of cardiovascular conditions among the OSAS patients was: CVD (20%), CVR (39.8%), and control (40.2%). The new index BRI (Odds ratio-OR: 2.641, 95% CI: 1.24-5.62) has shown better predictive ability for CVR compared to traditional measures, while NC (OR: 1.320, 95% CI: 1.09-1.60) was the only predictor of CVD. Additionally, the BRI had a higher AUC value (0.656) than traditional indices in terms of diagnostic performance in distinguishing CVR. Another new index ABSI was not found to be significant in evaluating cardiovascular conditions.
Conclusion: BRI, one of the new indices, is a useful anthropometric parameter in the CVR assessment of OSAS patients, offering better predictive ability than traditional measurements.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
