Association of dual use of cigarettes with obstructive sleep apnea assessed by the STOP-Bang score

Introduction Although previous studies have addressed the association between smoking and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there are few studies on the association between electronic cigarette use and OSA. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between the dual use of electronic and conventional c...

description Introduction Although previous studies have addressed the association between smoking and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there are few studies on the association between electronic cigarette use and OSA. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the association between the dual use of electronic and conventional cigarettes and OSA. Methods Data from 7350 participants of the 2019–2021 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed in this population-based study. The STOP-Bang score was calculated using eight items: snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, high blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and sex. The main independent variable was smoking behavior. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. Subgroup analysis was conducted to analyze the association between smoking behavior in detail and OSA, and stratified analyses were additionally performed. Results Of the 7350 participants, 417 (5.7%) had a high risk of OSA, according to the STOP-Bang score. Compared to the non-smoker group, the dual user group had a 2.46-fold increase in the odds of OSA (adjusted odds ratio, AOR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.04-5.79). Current non-smokers who were dual users in the past had increased odds of having OSA (AOR=3.61; 95% CI: 1.32–9.92). In the stratified analyses, dual cigarette use was significantly associated with OSA in females and those with a low physical activity level. Conclusions Dual users and cigarette-only users had an increased probability of developing OSA. Even if they are not currently smoking or vaping, individuals who were dual users in the past were associated with a higher risk of OSA. The association between dual cigarette use and OSA was more pronounced in females and those with a low physical activity level. While intervening for obstructive sleep apnea or investigating risk factors, new smoking methods such as vaping and dual use should be considered along with conventional smoking.
