Implication

Supports targeted BP/weight monitoring in young adults with subclinical OSAS; leaves open whether early intervention alters later CV risk.

Structured PICO

Is early subclinical obstructive sleep apnea associated with adverse cardiovascular or metabolic clinical characteristics in young adults?

Population

350 young adults who underwent a periodic health examination, including 121 newly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and 229 matched control subjects.

Intervention

Presence of newly diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS)

Comparator

Matched control subjects with negative screening for OSAS

Outcome

Clinical characteristics including blood pressure, body mass index, and metabolic profile (lipids and fasting glucose)surrogate

Early subclinical obstructive sleep apnea in young adults is associated with isolated elevations in diastolic blood pressure and BMI, preceding other metabolic or systolic blood pressure changes.
