Obstructive Sleep

Objective: To elucidate the independent associations of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep duration (SD) as well as the potential inflammatory and metabolic mediators on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in a large cohort of adults. Approach and Results: Consecutive participants from the ELSA-Brasil performed a clinical evaluation, sleep study, 1-week actigraphy for defining SD and CIMT using standard techniques. Gamma regression models were used to explore the association between OSA and SD with CIMT. Mediation analysis was performed using the mediation R package. A total of 2009 participants were included in the main analysis. As compared with no OSA (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] <5 events/hour; n=613), patients with mild (AHI, 5–14.9; n=741), moderate (AHI, 15–29.9; n=389), and severe OSA (AHI ≥30 events/hour; n=266) presented a progressive CIMT increase (0.690 [0.610–0.790], 0.760 [0.650–0.890], 0.810 [0.700–0.940], and 0.820 [0.720–0.958] mm; P <0.001). In contrast, CIMTs were similar for those with SD <6 hours (0.760 [0.650–0.888]), 6 to 8 hours (0.750 [0.640–0.880]) and >8 hours (0.740 [0.670–0.900]). All forms of OSA were independently associated with CIMT (mild: β: 0.019, SE 0.008; P =0.022; moderate: β: 0.025, SE 0.011; P =0.022; severe OSA: β: 0.040, SE 0.013; P =0.002). Moreover, the association of AHI with CIMT was mediated by increased C-reactive protein and triglycerides ( P <0.01). SD did not interact with OSA in the association with CIMT. Conclusions: OSA is independently associated with increased CIMT in a dose-response relationship. This association is partially mediated by inflammation and dyslipidemia. In contrast, SD is not associated nor interacted with OSA to increase CIMT.

Increased Risk

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is strongly associated with the presence of significant risk factors for cardiovascular disturbances. A disturbance in the oxidative/antioxidative balance is involved in the pathogenesis of OSA and cardiovascular diseases. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is suggested as a novel marker of oxidative stress; IMA can be defined as decreased binding of transitional metal ions to serum albumin in oxidative status. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of OSA on IMA levels and CIMT. In total, 61 individuals with OSA with no comorbidities and 24 healthy controls with a similar body mass index and age were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of IMA, CIMT (estimated radiologically), and polysomnographic parameters, were determined and interpreted. Serum IMA levels were significantly higher in individuals with OSA compared with the control group (p=0.0003). CIMT was significantly higher in the OSA group compared with the control group (0.88± 0.26 mm vs 0.75±0.17 mm, p=0.005). The CIMT and serum IMA levels were positively correlated with the apnea-hypopnea index (r=0.35 and r=0.32, respectively), and with the oxygen desaturation index (r=0.34 and r=0.29, respectively) at baseline. Increased IMA levels and CIMT may be related to increased oxidative stress and risk of atherosclerosis in individuals with OSA.
