Coexistence of Moderate-to-Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Inflammation Accelerates the Risk of Progression of Arterial Stiffness: A Prospective 6-Year Study

Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and inflammation have now been recognized as imposing substantial cardiometabolic risk. However, no prospective study has reported whether the coexistence of OSA and inflammation exacerbates the progressive arterial stiffening. Thus, the purpose of this study is to...

description Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and inflammation have now been recognized as imposing substantial cardiometabolic risk. However, no prospective study has reported whether the coexistence of OSA and inflammation exacerbates the progressive arterial stiffening. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine whether these conditions increase the risk of the progression of arterial stiffening. A total of 1945 participants were randomly selected for the study. Subjects with elevated inflammation were divided by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels. A polysomnography and brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were performed. The elevation of the baPWV was defined as the levels in the highest quartile of the baPWV. The percentage of the elevated baPWV and the change in the baPWV (ΔbaPWV) were higher in individuals with OSA and higher hsCRP levels. After adjusting for confounders, the participants with OSA and inflammation in the groups not treated with antihypertensive medication had a higher risk of an elevated ΔbaPWV in contrast to those with neither variable. Particularly, the alteration in the baPWV differed significantly based on the existence of moderate-to-severe OSA and inflammation at the 6-year follow-up. In combination, these conditions are associated with an accelerated risk of a future burden of the progression of the arterial stiffness, suggesting a potential important role in the increased risk of CVD.
