Overview

Cross sectional analysis revealed higher SDB prevalence linked to community environmental and social factors among diverse sociodemographic groups.

Key Points

  • SDB prevalence was 5.5% among 1,957,775 adult patients, showing significant associations with community vulnerabilities.
  • Higher community level environmental, social and health burdens correspond to increased odds for obstructive sleep apnea and other subtypes.
  • Cross sectional analysis of EHR data from community health centers across the U.S. highlighted vulnerability disparities by age, sex, and race.
  • The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions addressing the environmental and social determinants of health.
