BMI, body mass index; HDLc, high density lipoprotrein cholesterol; LDLc, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; CRP, C-reactive protein; BP, blood pressure; SpO2, oxyhemoglobin saturation; ODI, oxyhemoglobin desaturation index; AHIo, Apnea plus hypopnea index (obstructive mechanism); AHIc, Apnea plus hypopnea index (central mechanism); AHI, AHIc + AHIo; ASR, autonomic sleep-related micro-arousal index. *Body fat mass was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
