Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between metabolic syndrome (MS) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by comparing first-degree relatives (FDRs) of OSA patients to healthy controls.
- It involved 39 FDRs and matched controls, assessing factors like blood pressure, weight, and biochemical indices to evaluate the prevalence of MS.
- Results showed no significant difference in MS frequency between the two groups, but higher hypertension rates were noted in the FDR group, indicating the need for further research on hereditary factors in OSA.
