Are Sleep Quality, Physical Activity Levels, and Fear of Movement of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Patients Different From Healthy People During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic?

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The sleep quality and physical activity levels of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome during the lockdown period have not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sleep quality, physical activity level, and fear of movement in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and healthy individuals during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Material and methods

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (n = 33) and healthy individuals (n = 30) were included in the study. Physical activity levels, sleep quality, and fear of movement were evaluated.

Results

The total physical activity amount of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and healthy individuals was lower than the acceptable levels. The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome group had significantly lower leisure-time physical activity (P = .006) and higher sitting time (P = .008) than the healthy individuals. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome had significantly more sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, and daytime sleepiness than healthy people (P < .001). Fear of movement was negatively correlated with the amount of vigorous (r = -0.395, P = .023) and leisure activities (r = -0.557, P = .001) in the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome group.

Conclusion

During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and healthy individuals had lower physical activity levels. Physical activity counseling is an important strategy for increasing the physical activity of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and healthy individuals during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH), and it might contribute to frequently reported symptoms and comorbidities. Traditional risk factors for OSA are often absent in PLWH, suggesting that HIV or HIV medications might predispose to OSA. Therefore, we measured the anatomical and nonanatomical traits important for OSA pathogenesis in those with and without HIV. We recruited virally suppressed PLWH who had been previously diagnosed with OSA (PLWH + OSA) adherent to positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, along with age-, sex-, and body mass index (BMI)-matched OSA controls. All participants underwent a baseline polysomnogram to assess OSA severity and a second overnight research sleep study during which the airway pressure was adjusted slowly or rapidly to measure the OSA traits. Seventeen PLWH + OSA and 17 OSA control participants were studied [median age = 58 (IQR = 54-65) yr, BMI = 30.7 (28.4-31.8) kg/m2, apnea-hypopnea index = 46 (24-74)/h]. The groups were similar, although PLWH + OSA demonstrated greater sleepiness (despite PAP) and worse sleep efficiency on baseline polysomnography. On physiological testing during sleep, there were no statistically significant differences in OSA traits (including Veupnea, Varousal, Vpassive, Vactive, and loop gain) between PLWH + OSA and OSA controls, using mixed-effects modeling to account for age, sex, and BMI and incorporating each repeated measurement (range = 72-334 measures/trait). Our data suggest that well-treated HIV does not substantially impact the pathogenesis of OSA. Given similar underlying physiology, existing available therapeutic approaches are likely to be adequate to manage OSA in PLWH, which might improve symptoms and comorbidities.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Clinical data suggest an increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in people living with HIV (PLWH), while OSA might account for chronic health issues in this population. We characterized the anatomical and nonanatomical OSA traits in PLWH + OSA compared with OSA controls, using detailed physiological measurements obtained during sleep. Our data suggest against a major impact of HIV on OSA pathogenesis. Available OSA management strategies should be effective to address this potentially important comorbidity in PLWH.
