Low Vitamin D levels and high BMI are associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Vit D insufficiency was significantly more frequent among OSAS patients with insulin resistance. Both low 25(OH)D levels and high BMI were associated with the risk of insulin resistance in this population.
