This study aimed to find the prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) using Polysomnography (PSG) and current scoring rules (AASM 2012) in population and investigate OSA associations for cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities. and Methods: Participants were randomly selected among the accompanying attendants of patients admitted to a hospital in Bhopal, India and underwent level I PSG. Anthropometric measurements, blood investigations were taken. The primary outcome was prevalence of OSA, assessed by the Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI).
