    Muscle and visceral fat infiltration: A potential mechanism to explain the worsening of obstructive sleep apnea with age
    (2023) D'ANGELO, Giovanna F.; MELLO, Andre A. F. de; SCHORR, Fabiola; GEBRIM, Eloisa; FERNANDES, Mariana; LIMA, Giovanni F.; GRAD, Gustavo F.; YANAGIMORI, Marcela; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; GENTA, Pedro Rodrigues
    Study objectives: Aging is a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and is associated with increased upper airway collapsibility, but the mechanisms are largely unknown. We hypothesized that the increase in OSA severity and upper airway collapsibility with age are partially mediated by upper airway, visceral and muscle fat infiltration.Methods: Male subjects underwent full polysomnography, upper airway collapsibility determination (Pcrit) after sleep induction with midazolam, upper airway and abdominal computed tomography. Tongue and abdominal muscle fat infiltration were assessed by the determination of muscle attenuation with computed tomography. Results: Eighty-four males with a wide range of age (47 +/- 13 years, range 22-69 years) and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (30 [14-60] events/h, range 1-90 events/h), were studied. Younger and older males were grouped according to the mean age. Despite similar body mass-index (BMI), older subjects had higher AHI, higher Pcrit, larger neck and waist circumference, higher visceral and upper airway fat volumes (P < 0.01) as compared to younger subjects. Age was associated with OSA severity, Pcrit, neck and waist circumference, upper airway fat volume and visceral fat (P < 0.05), but not with BMI. Older subjects had lower tongue and abdominal muscle attenuation as compared to younger subjects (P < 0.001). Age was inversely associated with tongue and abdominal muscle attenuation, indicating muscle fat infiltration.Conclusions: The associations between age, upper airway fat volume, visceral and muscle fat infiltration may help to explain the worsening of OSA and increased upper airway collapsibility with aging.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
