Data are Pearson correlation coefficients in adolescents with OSA (below the diagonal) and without OSA (above the diagonal). OSA = obstructive sleep apnea, defined as an apnea/hypopnea index greater or equal to 2 events per hour of sleep. P values ≤ 0.05 (*), including ≤ 0.01 (**), were considered statically significant, while P values 0.05–0.10 (T) were considered marginally significant (trend).
