Abstract: Objectives To analyze two kinds of obesity in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (obstructive sleep apnea - hypopnea syndrome, OSAHS) between central obesity and peripheral obesity group by comparing the sleep apnea low air index (AHI) and minimum blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) level. Methods Central obesity male OSAHS patients (central obesity group) and peripheral obesity OSAHS patients (peripheral obesity group) were selected randomly, and each group consisted of 30 patients respectively. AHI and SaO2 level of the patients were recorded, and the difference between two groups were compared statistically. Results AHI of male OSAHS patients in central obesity group was higher than that of the peripheral obesity group, while minimum SaO2 was lower than that of the peripheral obesity group, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion Male OSAHS patients with central obesity are more serious than peripheral obesity patients, and central obesity is a greater inlfuence on OSAHS.
