Shown are adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) and values. The variables used in the regression model were AHI, sex (male), age (decades), obesity (), and the HOMA index. AHI: apnea-hypopnea index; HOMA: Homeostasis Model Assessment (fasting, use of long-acting insulin); or on antihypertensive medication; or on triglyceride-lowering medication.
