| Popis: | Introduction Few studies indicated the impact of ethnicity on an association between central sleep apnea (CSA) and atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) in older populations. We assessed possible ethnic differences in the association among elderly Japanese-American and White-American men. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis using two population studies of Japanese-American and White-American men. The Kuakini Honolulu-Asia Aging Study is a longitudinal cohort study of Japanese-American men living in Hawaii. Sleep data were collected between 1999 and 2000. The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (Mr.OS) Sleep Study was conducted between 2003 and 2005 on the continental U.S. The majority of Mr.OS participants were White-American. We selected 79–90 year old males, who had overnight polysomnography from both studies. Total participants were 690 Japanese-American and 871 White-American men. The central apnea index (CAI) was the measure of the number of central apneas. CSA was defined by CAI>=5. Cheyne-Stokes breathing (CSB) was defined as a minimum consecutive 5–10 min period of a crescendo-decrescendo respiratory pattern associated with CSA. Results The prevalence of AF was 5.7% in Japanese-American men and 9.0% in White-American men. The prevalence of CSA and CSB in White-Americans were higher than in Japanese-Americans (11.5% vs 6.5% and 5.7% vs 3.3%, respectively). In multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models, CSA was associated with higher odds of AF, and the association was stronger in Japanese-Americans [Odds Ratio (OR) = 4.77, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.95–11.67] than in White-Americans (OR = 2.09, 95 %CI: 1.09–4.01). CSB showed similar trends as CSA. Conclusions After adjustment, CSA and CSB were significantly associated with AF in both Japanese-American and White-American men. |
