Prevalence of metabolic syndrome diagnosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome according to adopted definition.

CONCLUSIONS: The IDF definition from 2005 of metabolic syndrome indeed increases the frequency of diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in patients with OSAS. We did not observe essential clinical correlation among the degree of OSAS severity and recognition of metabolic syndrome in the MS1 or in the MS2 group. PMID: 23996880 [PubMed - in process]
