Risk factor panels associated with hypertension in obstructive sleep apnea patients with different body mass indexes

Abstract
Although hypertension (HTN), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and obesity frequently co-occur, the precise role of obesity in this interrelationship is not completely understood. A total of 727 OSA patients were assigned to body mass index (BMI) <25 (27.6%; n = 201), 25≤ BMI <29.99 (53.4%; n = 388), and BMI ≥30 (19%; n = 138). HTN risk factors in each group were evaluated. A total of 244 (33.6%) patients exhibited co-morbid HTN, of whom 20.5%...
