Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To calculate the prevalence of respiratory disorders during sleep (RDS), apnoea, and related factors, in a rural population.
DESIGN
Prevalence study.
PARTICIPANTS
Random sample of 228 individuals chosen from a health centre's appointment records.
MAIN MEASUREMENTS
Anamnesis about sleep and respiratory disorders during sleep, anthropometric measurements, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, nocturnal pulse oximetry, and polysomnography.
RESULTS
Five subjects were found to have RDS plus sleepiness. The estimated prevalence of apnoea was 2.1% (95% CI, 0.3-3.9). The prevalence of RDS, daytime sleepiness and habitual snoring was 25.4% (20.2-30.5), 7.4% (3.9-10.8), and 30.7% (25.4-36.4), respectively. RDS was associated with age, body mass index (BMI), and snoring.
CONCLUSIONS
RDS is a common problem in our population. In this study, age, BMI and snoring were found to be factors associated with RDS.
