Spearman correlation between IMA, CIMT and age, BMI, and OSA severity index parameters
| Variables | Age | BMI | AHI | ODI | Mean SaO2 | TST90 | Albumin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMA | 0.07 | 0.12 | 0.32 | 0.29 | −0.09 | 0.19 | −0.21 |
| CIMT | 0.04 | 0.05 | 0.35 | 0.34 | −0.22 | 0.29 |
AHI, apnea-hypopnea index; BMI, body mass index; cIMT, carotid intima-media thickness; IMA, ischemia modified albumin; mean SaO2, mean of arterial oxygen saturation; ODI, oxygen desaturation index; OSA, obstructive sleep apnea; TST90, total sleep time with oxyhemoglobin saturation below 90%.
