Associations between anthropometry and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (moderate‐severe (OAHI > 5) versus normal (OAHI < 1.5)) and interaction of Hispanic ethnicity

Anthropometric measure	Ethnicity	Odds Ratio (OR)	OR (lower limit)	OR (upper limit)	p Value	Interaction p Value
BMI	Non‐Hispanic	2.055	1.559	2.708	<0.001	0.709
	Hispanic	2.191	1.746	2.749	<0.001
BMI percentile	Non‐Hispanic	1.478	1.195	1.827	<0.001	0.876
	Hispanic	1.513	1.223	1.873	<0.001
Dry lean Mass	Non‐Hispanic	1.721	1.249	2.371	<0.001	0.591
	Hispanic	1.868	1.392	2.506	<0.001
Body fat Mass	Non‐Hispanic	2.019	1.529	2.666	<0.001	0.811
	Hispanic	2.104	1.664	2.659	<0.001
Percent body fat	Non‐Hispanic	1.860	1.477	2.342	<0.001	0.474
	Hispanic	2.093	1.653	2.650	<0.001

Note: Separate logistic regression models were performed to assess whether the association of each anthropometric measure (in standardized scale) with OSA (defined as moderate‐severe if OAHI>5/hr vs. normal if OAHI<=1.5/hr) was moderated by ethnicity status (Hispanic vs. non‐Hispanic). All models adjusted for age and sex. OR represents the odds of having moderate‐severe OSA per standardized unit increase in each anthropometric measure. Interaction p Value indicates whether the association differed between Hispanic and Non‐Hispanic children. The Bold Values represented significant of p value (i.e. <0.05)
