Background: Mild obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is highly prevalent; however its association with important clinical outcomes like arterial hypertension remains unknown. Aims: To investigate the association between mild OSA and hypertension in the European Sleep Apnoea Database (ESADA) cohort after adjusting for relevant confounding factors. Methods: A multicentric sample of 7995 adults from the ESADA cohort with simple snoring or mild OSA at PG or PSG was studied. We compared the predictive value of mild OSA (AHI 5- Results: Arterial hypertension prevalence was 37% in mild OSA (n=1566) compared to 22% in non-apnoeic snorers (n=793, p Conclusion: Our results suppport the hypothesis that mild OSA is an independent risk factor for Hypertension, mainly in the 11-15 AHI range.
