Correlation between OSAHS and Early Peripheral Atherosclerosis Indices in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China: A Cross-Sectional Inpatient Study by Xin Zhao, Xiaofeng Yu, Sixu Xin, Wei Zhang, Xiaomei Zhang, Linong Ji

“…Results. (1) As the degree of OSAHS increased, ABI decreased gradually and was lower than that in the control group, but PWV increased and was higher than that in the control group (p<0.05, respectively). (2) The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) positively correlated with PWV (r=0.36, p<0.05) and negatively correlated with ABI (r=−0.37, p<0.05). (3) Multivariate logistic regression showed that after adjusting for age, gender, duration, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, and other factors, OSAHS was a risk factor of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in patients with T2DM. …”
