Objective: To investigate the correlation between different anthropometric measures and sleep disorder breathing (SDB) as measured by apnea / hypopnea index (AHI) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Also to find out the most correlated anthropometric measure with SDB. Methods: We evaluated 80 patients with suspected OSA underwent polysomnography and anthropometric measurements including body mass index (BMI), waist–hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ration (WHtR), waist, and hip circumference. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the anthropometrics variables (BMI, WHtR, W, and WHR) relative to the AHI (r = 0.516, p< 0.001; r = 0.477, p = 0.002; r = 0.333, p=0.024; and r = 0.302, p=0.042 respectively) in men. These correlations were confirmed ... view more»
