Association between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and obstructive sleep apnea: a study from NHANES 2015-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between TyG-BMI index and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a recently identified biomarker indicating insulin resistance, has yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between TyG-BMI index and the risk of OSA using the NHANES database.

Methods

Analyses were performed on NHANES data conducted between 2015 and 2018. Logistic regression, stratified analyses, curve-fitting analyses, and threshold effects analyses were utilized to assess the association between TyG-BMI index and the risk of OSA.

Results

The study included 4,588 participants. Multifactorial logistic regression analyses found a significant association between TyG-BMI and increased risk of OSA [OR: 1.54 (CI:1.39-1.70)]. In stratified
