Association between cardiometabolic index and self-reported symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) is a new indicator of visceral fat distribution and dysfunction that can be calculated using lipid parameters, waist circumference, and height. The relationship between CMI and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) remains unclear. This cross-sectional study explored the association between CMI and OSA using nationally representative data from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, spanning the periods from 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2018. OSA was self-reported based on questionnaire responses. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to investigate the relationship between CMI and OSA. In addition, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed to study the robustness of the association across different popul
