BMI showed a positive trend with increasing OSA severity ( P < 0.001).
BMI showed a positive trend with increasing OSA severity ( P < 0.001).
In the fully adjusted model, higher PNI was independently associated with lower all-cause mortality, with a significant trend across tertiles.
For cardiovascular mortality, an overall significant association was detected ( P -overall<0.01), although the test for non-linearity approached but did not reach significance ( P -nonlinear=0.051).
Although the associations did not reach statistical significance within every individual subgroup, the direction of effect was largely uniform.
