Association of Serum Ferritin Levels With Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Overweight/Obese US Populations: A Population-Based Study From the NHANES by Zhang Y, Zhou P, Xu C, Su H, Li R, Sun L, Yang Y

“…In female OSA patients, elevated ferritin levels were associated with increased all-cause mortality risk (Q4 vs Q2: HR: 5.46, 95% CI: 1.18– 25.16, P = 0.029, P for trend = 0.032).Conclusion: Ferritin levels in overweight/obese individuals show a U-shaped relationship with OSA risk, and elevated levels correlate with increased all-cause mortality in female overweight/obese OSA patients. In the future, further research is needed to explore the potential associations between ferritin, inflammation, obesity, and OSA.Keywords: ferritin, obstructive sleep apnea, overweight/obese, all-cause mortality, NHANES…”
