Polysomnographic analysis of respiratory events during sleep in young nonobese Japanese adults without clinical complaints of sleep apnea.

Study Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence and characteristics of apnea-hypopnea events in young nonobese healthy Japanese participants.

Methods: One hundred and three young adult participants without sleep complaints (men: 56; women: 47; age: 24.5 ± 3.

Sleep Quality, Psychologic Profiles, Cardiac Activity, and Salivary Biomarkers in Young Subjects with Different Degrees of Rhythmic Masticatory Muscle Activity: A Polysomnography Study.

Aims: To investigate the objective and subjective characteristics of sleep and psychosomatic and physiologic variables in young subjects with different frequencies of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) during sleep.

Methods: A total of 54 young (mean age 23.8 ± 2.

The occurrence of respiratory events in young subjects with a frequent rhythmic masticatory muscle activity: a pilot study.

Purpose: Concomitant occurrence of respiratory events can be often overlooked in the clinical practice of SB. This study assessed physiological characteristics of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) and concomitant respiratory events in young sleep bruxism (SB) subjects asymptomatic to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Methods: Twenty-two subjects (age: 24.
