Acesso em:http://bdm.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/prefix/414The Syndrome Obstructive Sleep Apnea (SOAHS) is considered a public health problem because of its high index of prevalence proportion. Despite of the SOAHS’ frequency and severity; most of the patients don’t have a precise diagnostic. Whereas the main goal of this paper is identifying the prevalence of physical disorders linked to obstructive sleep apnea in the State of Pará, Brazil. Method: During 2013, over 400 questionnaires were applied to over- 10-year-patients from the Otolaryngology and Ophthalmology clinics (Bettina Ferro de Souza Hospital, Belém- Capital of Pará). The statistic evaluation was supported by Minitab Program, Version 14, considering the logistic regression method and values of p <0.05. Subsequently, a multiple logistic regression was applied to determine the impact of each variable in the development of sleep apnea, and correlate them to the odds ratios; trust intervals of 95%. Results: 56% of questionnaires were with females patients, from 12-82 years (the mean age was 38.37 ± 14.9). The 67% of contestants aged 20-50; 65% admitted snoring; 54 (13.5%) reported they were hypertensive, and 45 indicated a high risk for SOAHS (95% CI: 50.99 to 6737.19, P < 0.000, OR: 586.13); 136 (34%) reported excessive sleepiness, from this amount, 78 presented a high risk for SOAHS, what should be investigated, with significant statistical level (95% CI: 1.13 to 4.73, P < 0.022 and OR: 2.31); high SOAHS’ Risk corresponded to 38.5 % in average. Conclusion: The causal association between sleep apnea syndrome and age, especially after 50s, demonstrated a strong convergence, according to the public data reference. Besides, there is a link between gender, body mass index (BMI), blood Pressure (HBP), snoring, smoking, degree of somnolence, respiratory obstruction and neck circumference.Acesso AbertoSíndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono (SAOS)Apneia obstrutiva do sonoÍndice de massa corpóreaHipertensão arterial sistêmicaRonco e sonolência excessivaCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::MEDICINATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
