Abstract
A síndrome da apnéia obstrutiva do sono (SAOS) tem como principal fator de risco a obesidade e acredita-se que fatores genéticos poderiam contribuir na sua patogênese. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever as características antropométricas e dermatoglíficas dos portadores de SAOS. Foram mensurados: indice de massa corporal (IMC); indice de conicidade, gordura corporal relativa, somatotipo e coletadas as impressões digitais. Trinta e um casos de SAOS foram comparados a número igual de controles. Pelo IMC e gordura corporal relativa os apnéicos foram classificados como obesos. O indice de conicidade revelou forte componente de obesidade central. No somatotipo, predominou a categoria endomorfo-mesomorfo, indicando alta magnitude dos componentes músculo-esquelético e adiposo com linearidade relativa de grande volume por unidade de altura. Para índices mais graves de apnéia observa-se maior predominância mesomórfica na composição corporal. Através do teste t, a dermatoglifia não mostrou diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre portadores da SAOS e os controles.
Obesity is the main risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and genetic patterns can modulate the pathogenesis of the disease. The aim of this study is to describe the anthropometrics and dermatoglyphics features among OSAS carriers. We collected information on Body Mass Index (BMI), Conicity Index (CI), Body Fat Mass (BFM), somatotype and fingerprints. Thirty-one cases of OSAS were compared to an equal number of controls. Membership to the obese category is based on observed BMI and BFM. The CI distribution among cases shows a strong central obesity component. The endomorph-mesomorph somatotype category predominates among cases showing high adiposity and relative muscle-skeletic development, such as relative linearity of great mass per unit of height. Increased morbidity, as given by more serious indices of apnea, correlates positively with higher mesomorphic predominance in the body composition. Analysis of dermatoglyphic data does not show significant statistical differences between OSAS -patients and controls.
