Data are presented as correlation coefficients (r) and p values. Partial correlation analysis (adjusted covariates: age, education, sex, BMI, and smoking index. ^∗p < 0.05. AHI, apnea-hypopnea index; ODI, oxygen desaturation index; LSaO₂, lowest oxygen saturation; MSaO₂, mean oxygen saturation; TSat90, % of time SaO₂ < 90%; REM%, percent of rapid eye movement in total sleep time.
