Characteristics and results of this study in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-OSA subjects

Data are mean±standard deviation or median (interquartile range) values, depending on the data distribution for continuous data, and number (percentage) values for categorical data. For the statistical analysis, values not conforming to a normal distribution (AHI, minS_aO₂, EMPs) were transformed to achieve normality.

^*p<0.05, Student's t-test, Pearson chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test, ^†Overweight, defined as BMI ≥23.0 kg/m².

SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, DM: diabetes mellitus, BMI: body mass index, F-glucose: fasting glucose, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, HDL: high density-lipoprotein-cholesterol, LDL: low density-lipoprotein-cholesterol, ESS: Epworth Sleepiness Scale, EDS: excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS score ≥11), AHI: apnea-hypopnea index, MinS_aO₂: minimum oxygen saturation (%), CFU: colony-forming units, PECAM: platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, EMPs: endothelial microparticles, IMT: intimamedia thickness.
