Table 3. Differences in vitamin D levels between obstructive sleep apnea group and control group
| OSA (n=65) | Non-OSA (n=44) | p-value |
25(OH)D (ng/mL) | 18.2±5.5 | 21.3±8.6 | 0.04* |
25(OH)D deficiency | 45 (69.2) | 20 (45.5) | 0.02* |
Age (month) | 109.8±43.9 | 105.0±38.1 | 0.56 |
BMI z-score | 1.4±1.1 | 0.7±1.0 | <0.001† |
Data are represented as the mean±standard deviation or n (%). p-values are from the Fisher’s exact test (categorical variables variables) or Mann-Whitney U test (quantitative variables).
p<0.05,
p<0.001.
OSA: obstructive sleep apnea, 25(OH)D: 25-hydroxyvitamin D, BMI: body mass index.
