Abstract

An increase in the incidence of OSAS (obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome) has been seen due to the reported association between OSAS and obesity. Subjects are predisposed to cardiovascular disease due to systemic inflammation caused by the interactions between obesity and OSA. Inflammatory markers could be used to predict the degree of systemic inflammation, which could be a prognostic factor for future adverse events such as metabolic risks. One marker that has recently started being used as an indicator of systemic inflammation is neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The aim is to evaluate NLR, which is a easily measured parameter of systemic inflammation in OSAS subjects with and without obesity. 155 subjects were assigned to four different groups according to their body mass indices. Comparisons of white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, NLR values and anthropometric measurements were done for each group. The NLR and neutrophil counts of group 4 were statistically significant and higher than those of groups 1, 2 and 3. The lymphocyte counts of group 4 were the lowest amongst all groups, these values were lower than the lymphocyte counts of groups 1, 2 and 3 with statistically significant differences (p< 001). A positive c...Continue Reading
