This study examined the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in OSA patients, and predictors of mood disturbance in male and female patients. N = 344 consecutive OSA patients (mean age 51.6 SD 14.1 years, 176 women) completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. 42.3% of females reported significant depressive symptoms compared to 32.7% of males, and 29.7% of females compared to 21.4% of males reported significant anxiety. In women, sleepiness, anxiety, and BMI were significant predictors of depression, whereas only sleepiness and anxiety were significant predictors of depression in males. Obesity was a stronger predictor of depression among women, suggesting a complex interaction between weight, sleep, and depression in female patients.

本研究调查了 OSA 患者抑郁和焦虑症状的患病率，以及男性和女性患者情绪障碍的预测因素。N = 344 名连续 OSA 患者（平均年龄 51.6 SD 14.1 岁，176 名女性）完成了 Epworth 嗜睡量表和医院焦虑和抑郁量表。42.3% 的女性报告了显着的抑郁症状，而男性为 32.7%，而 29.7% 的女性和 21.4% 的男性报告了显着的焦虑。在女性中，困倦、焦虑和 BMI 是抑郁症的重要预测因素，而只有困倦和焦虑是男性抑郁症的重要预测因素。肥胖是女性抑郁症的更强预测因子，表明女性患者的体重、睡眠和抑郁症之间存在复杂的相互作用。
