Abstract | <p><b>CONTEXT: </b>Carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) results from oxidative stress and has been linked to cardiovascular disease.</p><p><b>OBJECTIVE: </b>The objective of this study is to investigate the association between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) - a source of oxidative stress - and CML.</p><p><b>MATERIALS AND METHODS: </b>About 1002 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) were studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS: </b>Women with SDB had significantly higher CML concentration compared with those without SDB (OR = 1.63, 95%CI = 1.03-2.58, p = 0.04). The association was not significant among men.</p><p><b>DISCUSSION: </b>SDB was associated with CML concentration among elderly women but not men in the Cardiovascular Health Study.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION: </b>Accumulation of CML may be an adverse health consequence of SDB.</p> |
