* p < 0.05 when comparing age, BMI, CVC/AHI in OSA controls; ^ p < 0.05 when comparing biomarkers; # cardiovascular risk factors in the reported group is shown as a percentage of patients presenting at least one of the following: obesity, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and smoking. 7.7% of the patients had hypertension without other risk factors. 73.1% had more than one risk factor. Unable to extract exact data regarding the prevalence of CVC; $ Author provided biometrical data of the whole studied population, not providing data after dividing patients into hypertensive and normotensive groups.
