Description
Suman Pant and co-authors pool world data on how often metabolic syndrome strikes adults with sleep apnea, in a 2026 review. The syndrome bundles blood pressure, sugar, and fat risks that feed heart disease. Reports of its rate in apnea patients varied widely.
One hundred two studies covering more than thirty-four thousand patients in twenty-eight countries met the bar. The pooled rate came to about fifty-five percent. Spread between studies was huge, and rates shifted by region, by how the syndrome was defined, and by apnea severity cutoffs. The authors read the bundle as the rule rather than the exception in this group, and they urge joint screening.
