Clinical study of relationship between sleep apnea syndrome and metabolic syndrome of petrol field workers

Abstract

Objective To analyze the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in petrol field workers. Methods A total of 100 cases of OSAS patients of petrol field workers were enrolled as the study objects from March 2013 to August 2015 in emergency and respiratory department in Daqing Longnan Hospital and were divided into three groups: simple snoring group (Group A, n=26 ), mild OSAS group (Group B, n=42 ), and severe OSAS group (Group C, n=32). The comparison of dietetic status score, sleep status score and the patients with MS among 3 groups were carried out. The relationship between OSAS and MS was analyzed by using univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses were used. Results In Group C, sleep status score(8.3±1.2) and dietetic status score(7.6±1.4)and the rates of MS(23/32) were higher than those in the other two groups (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses, showed OSAS was the risk factor of MS[ r=11.211 (OR=9.412, 95% CI: 5.992~15.202)] . Conclusions Dietetic status and sleep status were obviously influenced by OSAS in petrol field workers.The incidence of MS were more common in petrol field workersevere with OSAS and OSAS was a risk factor of MS .
