Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to examine whether sleep apnea is associated with development of renal dysfunction, stroke, coronary heart disease, and heart failure using the data of health checkup including night pulse-oximetry test as screening for sleep apnea and incidence registry of stroke and coronary heart disease. Among men and women aged 28-83 years having health checkup with night pulse-oximetry test in three areas of Akita, Osaka and Ibaraki from 2001 through 2005, we found significantly or borderline significantly positive association of sleep apnea in relation to development of chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, high serum level of NTproBNP (a predictive biomarker of heart failure), and cardiovascular disease. The current findings suggests that appropriate prevention and treatment strategy for sleep apnea may helpful for the prevention of chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and stroke/coronary heart disease.
