Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a disease mostly occurring in men. It is characterized by eathing pauses during sleep, with intermittent hypoxemia, abnormal sleep, and serious metabolic disorders. The study aims to highlight whether the metabolic syndrome is associated with OSAS. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The population was represented by patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and OSAS. The following were performed: ENT examination, metabolic exploration: triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, HDL–cholesterol, a jeun. glycemia and polysomnography. RESULTS: The average age was 47.09 ± 12.94., sex distribution: 34.29% women and 64.71% men. Patients were divided according to the apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) in 2 groups. The metabolic syndrome components showed significant statistical changes in the OSAS group compared to the non–OSAS group, p = 0.0367. CONCLUSIONS: OSAS is associated with the metabolic syndrome and its components. There is a complexity of factors which interfere with the association between OSAS and MS.
