Abstract: BACKGROUND: Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder which is associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and stroke. Different studies conducted in Iran have reported different prevalence for sleep apnea. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of sleep apnea in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: test. Data were analyzed using Stata software version 11.2. RESULTS: The total prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 44% (95% CI: 35% to 53%). The highest prevalence of sleep apnea distinguished by the disease belonged to patients with sleep disorders (74%, 95% CI: 66%-82%), diabetes mellitus (61%; 95% CI: 46%-76%) and cardiovascular disease (55%; 95% CI: 47%-63%).
