Purpose: This study was performed to compare characteristics to the risk levels of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in men aged 51 years and older. Methods: This study involved secondary data analysis utilizing data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Three thousand eight hundred forty-six men aged 51 years or older participated in the study. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, 2 test, and logistic regression using SPSS/WIN 27.0 software. Results: Study participants were divided into low (26.2%), intermediate (58.4%), and high (15.4%) OSA risk groups. Factors that correlated with OSA risk level included age, high-risk drinking, subjective health status, perceived stress, central obesity, and dyslipidemia. Subjects diagnosed with dyslipidemia were 2.25 fold elevated risk of being in the intermediate-risk group and at 4.17 fold elevated risk of being in the high-risk group of OSA (p<.001). In the case of central obesity, the respective likelihoods of being in the intermediate and high-risk groups of OSA increased by 2.10 and 6.46 fold (p<.001). Conclusion: Multiple strategies are required to manage OSA risk factors depending on risk level and to develop nursing intervention approaches to prevent individuals from progressing into the high-risk group for OSA.
