Abstract

AbstractSeveral studies have shown an association between albuminuria and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, studies on the relationship between the STOP-BANG questionnaire that can screen for OSA and microalbuminuria are still insufficient. Therefore, this study attempted to clarify the relationship between microalbuminuria and OSA risk using the STOP-BANG questionnaire in Korean adults. A total of 7478 participants (3289 men and 4189 women) aged over 40 were enrolled in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2019 to 2020. STOP-BANG questionnaire to screen OSA was obtained from subjects. The urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and proteinuria were measured via a single dipstick to evaluate renal function. The high OSA risk group had a higher mean ACR value than the low OSA risk group (36.8 ± 172.2 vs 17.7 ± 82.5; P < 0.001). The proportion of subjects with values of 30 ≤ ACR < 300 mg/g (11.9% vs 6.1%; P < 0.001) and ACR > 300 mg/g (2.1% vs 0.7%; P < 0.001) was significantly higher in high OSA risk group. Multivariate logistic regression results confirmed that microalbuminuria (OR 1.279, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.068–1.532, P = 0.008) was significantly correlated with high OSA risk. In addition, significant correlation with high OSA risk was also found in macroalbuminuria (OR 1.684, 95% CI 1.073–2.530, P = 0.022) and proteinuria (OR 1.355, 95% CI 1.030–1.783, P = 0.030). We confirmed a significant correlation between high OSA risk and albuminuria/proteinuria in Korean adults. Therefore, renal function evaluation is required in high OSA risk patients, and OSA diagnosis through PSG test and treatment is necessary.
