Abstract
- Introduction: The American Stroke Association estimates that stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention someone in the United States has a stoke every 40 seconds, affecting more than 795,000 people of which 140,000 result in death [1]. Emerging evidence suggests that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a strong risk factor for stroke. This study using The Metabolic Syndrome Outcome (MetSO) registry explored whether blacks at risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are at greater risk for a stroke. Method: The present study utilized data from the MetSO study, an NIH-funded cohort study of blacks with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Patients were diagnosed with MetS using standard criteria articulated in the joint interim statement for harmonizing the MetS. The study assessed OSA risk using the Apnea Risk Evaluation System (ARES); defining high risk as a total ARES score ≥6. Data was coded and analyzed by an experienced statistician using SPSS 20.0. Results: A total of 1035 participants were screened for MetS in the MetSO registry. During the data collection period 875 participants were enrolled during the time of analysis. The average age of the sample was 62±14 years (range: 20–97); 71% were female, and all were of black race/ethnicity. Seventy-one percent reported finishing high school, and 43% reported annual income
