Comparison of telomere length in the circulating leukocytes in the peripheral blood of OSA patients (N = 43) depends on OSA severity. The telomere length of circulating leukocytes was significantly shorter in patients with severe OSA than patients with mild OSA (11 mild OSA (circle), 16 moderate OSA (rectangle), and 16 severe OSA (diamond) patients). Graphs show mean values, and *p < .05 compared to patients with mild OSA (A). Telomere length of circulating leukocytes in OSA patients with >20 ODI was significantly shorter than in OSA patients with <10 ODI (B). Graphs show mean value + standard deviation (SD). *p < .05 compared to OSA patients with <10 ODI.
