Bus drivers with a respiratory disturbance index (RDI)\u2003\u2265\u20035\/h were invited to have hospital\u2010based polysomnography for confirmation followed by nasal CPAP treatment.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2003<\/jats:bold> Out of 1477\u2003bus drivers, 1016 (971 men) were interviewed with mean (SD) age of 45.3 (7.5) years, BMI 24.9 (3.6) kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, neck circumference 38.9 (3.1) cm and Epworth sleepiness score 4.8 (4.0). Sleepiness at work was reported by 60.9%, snoring \u22653 nights per week 23.9%, witnessed apnoea 3.7% and having fallen asleep during driving by 24%. Among 211 who underwent home sleep study, 85 (40.3%), 55 (26.1%) and 37 (17.5%) had RDI \u22655, \u226510 and \u226515\/h respectively. BMI, snoring intensity and neck circumference were the positive independent factors associated with the RDI. Of the 25 drivers who attended polysomnography, nine accepted CPAP prescription with improvement of Epworth sleepiness score, trail B and digit span after 3\u2003months with CPAP usage of 4.5 (1.3) h\/night.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2003<\/jats:bold> The estimated minimum prevalence rates of sleep\u2010disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome were 8.4% and 5.4% respectively among the bus drivers.
