Abstract

Background: Although there is evidence linking vitamin D to many neurochemical processes involved in sleep, the association between the obstructive sleep apnea and vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone is still unknown, as clinical research have shown inconsistent findings. In this study, we aimed to examine the hypothesis that if there is any relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in order to manage treatment.
Methods: 56 patients (32 male, 24 female) admitted to the University of Health Sciences Adana City Training and Research Hospital otorhinolaryngology clinic between January 1st, 2022 and January 1st 2023 without any acute and chronic disease were included in the study. The range of participants was 18-70. In this study we examined the serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels of 32 obstructive sleep apnea patients and compared their serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels with the serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels of 24 normal patients in the control group.
Results: When the serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels of obstructive sleep apnea patients and serum vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels of normal patients were compared we did not find a statistically significant difference which may be due to our patient density.
Conclusion: Vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels are not likely related to the presence or absence of obstructive sleep apnea. More intervention studies are needed to better clarify the relation between the obstructive sleep apnea and vitamin D, calcium and parathyroid hormone.
