included the pure insomnia group with fewer daytime symptoms; Cluster 2 consisted of the minimally symptomatic group; Cluster 3 comprised the insomnia group with multiple daytime symptoms; and Cluster 4 encompassed the group with upper airway symptoms and sleepiness. Among the SDB subtypes, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. However, the pure insomnia group had the highest prevalence of hypertension.These findings highlight the importance of considering gender, age differences, and sleep symptom subtypes when evaluating and managing metabolic syndrome.Tailored strategies, early identification, and consideration of different subtypes are necessary to optimize treatment.
