A comparative analysis of anthropometric indices for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea among American Adults.

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is related to not only the overall obesity, but also the local distribution of fat. Therefore, we introduced anthropometric indicators to comprehensively assess the risks associated with obesity, including body mass index (BMI), which is used to assess the overall obesity, together with waist circumference (WC), body roundness index (BRI), visceral adiposity index (VAI) and lipid accumulation product (LAP), all of which reflect fat distribution. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2005-2008 and 2015-2018 NHANES cycles, comprising 8966 participants. Logistic regression models were used to examine the associations between anthropometric indices and OSA, adjusting for relevant covariates. Receiver operating characteristic
