Clinical and Anthropometric Correlates of Polysomnography-Defined Severity in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Abstract
Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder frequently associated with cardiometabolic morbidity. In this retrospective study of 339 adults who underwent polysomnography (PSG) between January 2020 and December 2024, we investigated the relationship between routinely obtained clinical and anthropometric measures-body mass index (BMI), neck circumference (NC), waist circumference (WC), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)-and PSG-defined OSAS severity. Materials and Methods: Adults (≥18 years) who underwent overnight PSG and had complete clinical and anthropometric data were included. OSAS severity was defined using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI): no OSA (
