Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and smoking are important global health issues that are widely prevalent. Both are independently associated with cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, neurological, psychiatric, and endocrinological abnormalities and cancer, leading to premature death. Whether coexistent OSA and smoking worsen multisystem abnormalities is inconclusive. Therefore, this study was done to find the association between OSA and other morbidities among smokers and non-smokers. The objectives of this study were i) to evaluate the association of OSA with co-morbidities in smokers and non-smokers and ii) to compare the severity of OSA in smokers and non-smokers.
