ObjectivesObesity is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. Childhood obesity rates vary amongst different ethnic groups. Here we explore the interaction of Hispanic ethnicity and obesity on OSA risk.MethodsRetrospective cross-sectional analysis of consecutive children undergoing polysomnography and anthropometry using bioelectrical impedance from 2017-2020. Demographics obtained from the medical chart. Children who had also undergone cardiometabolic testing were identified to assess the relationship of cardiometabolic markers with OSA and anthropometry.ResultsData from 1217 children revealed Hispanic children were more likely to have moderate-severe OSA (36.0%) compared to Non-Hispanic children (26.5%), pConclusionsOSA is more likely in Hispanic children; this relationship is likely driven by obesity status rather than ethnicity. Among children undergoing cardiometabolic testing, Hispanic children were observed to have greater ALT concentrations however ethnicity did not impact the association of anthropometry and ALT or other cardiometabolic markers. |
