Figure 6.

Hazard ratio of incident heart failure (HF) for categories of SASHB and AHI, compared with the baseline group of low SASHB and low AHI. This figure displays the pooled analysis of men in the Outcomes of Sleep Disorders in Older Men (MrOS) and the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS) for SASHB and AHI. Participants with prevalent HF were excluded. AHI (apnea and hypopneas associated with ≥4% desaturation) and SASHB were each categorized separately as low (<75th percentile) and high (>75th percentile), and the individuals with low AHI and low SASHB were considered the reference group.
