Bhatt SP, et al. - Researchers studied the association of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with metabolic syndrome (MS) and systemic inflammation in Asian Indians; of 240 (132 males and 108 females) overweight/obese subjects [body mass index (BMI > 23 kg/m²)], 124 had OSA with NAFLD, 47 had OSA without NAFLD, 44 did not have OSA but had NAFLD and 25 had neither OSA nor without NAFLD. They performed abdomen ultrasound and overnight polysomnography to assess the severity of NAFLD and of OSA, respectively. Based on the findings, NAFLD was identified as an additional risk factor in OSA subject. Moreover, NAFLD contributed to systemic inflammation in Asian Indians.
