Key result
EBOADAI effectively assesses testosterone deficiency in adult males with OSA.
Why the study?
The link between obstructive sleep apnea and serum testosterone levels remains unclear.
Does the Easy blood oxygen accumulation distribution area index (EBOADAI) effectively assess the risk of testosterone deficiency in adult males with obstructive sleep apnea?
Cross-Sectional
Does the Easy blood oxygen accumulation distribution area index (EBOADAI) effectively assess the risk of testosterone deficiency in adult males with obstructive sleep apnea?
EBOADAI using a finger-clip oximeter provides an effective and convenient alternative for monitoring testosterone deficiency risk in the management of obstructive sleep apnea.

May support convenient testosterone deficiency screening in OSA; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
BACKGROUND: The link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and serum testosterone levels is still unclear. METHOD: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2015-2016 NHANES cycle and an independent polysomnography (PSG) cohort (validation cohort). We examined associations between OSA severity and risks of testosterone deficiency. Additionally, we quantified the capacity of BOADAI and apnea-hypopnea index to assess testosterone deficiency in OSA patients. CONCLUSIONS: a finger-clip oximeter, provides an effective and more convenient monitoring alternative for monitoring testosterone levels in OSA management.

Fan et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Easy blood oxygen accumulation distribution area index (EBOADAI) vs. Apnea-hypopnea index was evaluated on Testosterone deficiency (p== 0.01). The Easy blood oxygen accumulation distribution area index (EBOADAI) provides an effective and convenient alternative for assessing testosterone deficiency in adult males with OSA (P=0.01).
