Sleep apnea + metabolic syndrome = 3X the heart attack risk.

And almost nobody is screening for this combination.

As a medical school professor, I've watched us treat these conditions in separate silos for decades. A new study in Sleep Medicine followed 1,115 sleep apnea patients and found the combination is devastating.

The numbers tell the story:
- Sleep apnea alone: 7.5% had a major cardia... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41833185/

Two days of interesting discussions at MiWear project consortium meeting at Nijmegen. For me with engineering background this project has opened totally new world for wearable sensor technology with user, sex and gender aspects. As the host Radboudumc is a medical center, at the end of the meeting we had a visit at Museum of Anatomy and Pathology. Super interesting.

A retrospective study of 623 children, measuring 64 characteristics, identified 8 independent variables that were predictive of metabolic syndrome (MS). These were: residence (urban or rural), neck circumference, hemoglobin level, platelet count, serum cortisol, alanine aminotransferace, serum C-peptide, and fatty liver parameters. Nomograms are presented to allow prediction of MS in children in three different age groups.
