Risk factors considered were blood pressure, glucose\/lipid concentrations, white blood cell (WBC) total and subset counts, and cystatin C. The outcome was the apnea\u2013hypopnea index (AHI). Linear regression analyses with tests for interactions were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sample had a mean age of 68\u2009\u00b1\u20099 years. Forty-seven percent of the sample was male, and 32% had moderate or severe OSA (AHI, \u226515). Multivariable adjusted analysis showed significant associations between higher AHI with lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and higher diastolic blood pressure and neutrophil counts. Significant interactions with demographic factors were observed. Stronger associations were shown between AHI and higher total WBC count (P \u00a0int\u2009=\u20090.006) and glucose concentrations (P \u00a0int\u2009=\u20090.006) in younger (&amp;lt;65 yr) than in older individuals, higher triglyceride concentrations in men than in women (P \u00a0int\u2009=\u20090.006), and higher total WBC (P \u00a0int\u2009=\u20090.07) and monocyte counts (P \u00a0int\u2009=\u20090.03) in African American individuals than in other racial groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In a multiethnic cohort, we found increased levels of cardiovascular risk factors in association with OSA, including elevated neutrophil counts, a marker of inflammation.
