Introduction: Obesity is a
chronic disease and a public health problem that in some studies,
is introduced as an important risk factor for catching sleep apnea. The present
study has sought to investigate the relationship between obesity, body mass
index and sleep apnea in patients with
type II diabetes. Methodology: This
cross-sectional study was conducted in 1389 on 100 diabetic patients referred
to the Diabetes Unit of saghez city using available easy sampling. Patients'
height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure were studied. Using the
Berlin questionnaire, patients were divided into high and low risk for sleep
apnea groups. Data were analyzed by
SPSS software (Version 18) using
descriptive statistics, independent t-test and Chi
square and. P value was less than 0.05 and it was considered as statistically
significant Results: 46 diabetic
patients (52.6% of males and 44.4% women) were at high risk for sleep apnea.
There was a significant association between obesity and sleep apnea
(p<0.002). After controlling the variables,i.e., waist circumference and blood
pressure, sleep apnea risk in obese patients was 4 times the other patients
(95%CI:1.45-11.19, p<0.007). There was a significant association between
sleep apnea and hypertension (p<0.002). Conclusion: The body, mass
index and sleep apnea in patients with type II diabetes are related. |
