Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in women: effects of gender.
Edward O. Bixler,Alexandros N. Vgontzas,Hung Mo Lin,Thomas R. Ten Have,Jennifer Rein,Antonio Vela-Bueno,Anthony Kales +6 more
TL;DR: The data combined indicate that menopause is a significant risk factor for sleep apnea in women and that hormone replacement appears to be associated with reduced risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness in a General Population Sample: The Role of Sleep Apnea, Age, Obesity, Diabetes, and Depression
Edward O. Bixler,Alexandros N. Vgontzas,Hung Mo Lin,Susan L. Calhoun,Antonio Vela-Bueno,Anthony Kales +5 more
TL;DR: It appears that the presence of EDS is more strongly associated with depression and metabolic factors than with sleep-disordered breathing or sleep disruption per se, and patients with a complaint of E DS should be thoroughly assessed for depression and obesity/diabetes independent of whether sleep- disordered breathing is present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insomnia with objective short sleep duration is associated with a high risk for hypertension.
TL;DR: Insomnia with short sleep duration is associated with increased risk of hypertension, to a degree comparable to that of other common sleep disorders, e.g., SDB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep disordered breathing in children in a general population sample: prevalence and risk factors.
Edward O. Bixler,Alexandros N. Vgontzas,Hung Mo Lin,Duanping Liao,Susan L. Calhoun,Antonio Vela-Bueno,Fred G. Fedok,Vukmir Vlasic,Gavin R. Graff +8 more
TL;DR: The strong linear relationship between waist circumference and BMI across all degrees of severity of SDB suggests that, as in adults, metabolic factors may be among the most important risk factors for SDB in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of hypertension and sleep-disordered breathing.
Edward O. Bixler,Alexandros N. Vgontzas,Hung Mo Lin,Thomas R. Ten Have,Benjamin E. Leiby,Antonio Vela-Bueno,Anthony Kales +6 more
TL;DR: Sleep-disordered breathing, even snoring, was independently associated with hypertension in both men and women, and this relationship was strongest in young subjects, especially those of normal weight, a finding that is consistent with previous findings that SDB is more severe in young individuals.
