Association between physical activity patterns and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional analysis of NHANES data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the acceleration of modern life, the "Weekend Warrior" (WW) exercise pattern has become increasingly popular. This study based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007-2008, 2015-2016, and 2017-2020, examines the association between physical activity (PA) patterns and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults aged 18 and above.

Methods

The analysis included 19,223 adults who provided self-reported data on their PA patterns.
