Associations between SDB, the metabolic syndrome, and circulating levels of adipokines have emerged in adults but have not been examined in snoring children, who, in contradistinction to adults, display insulin resistance and lipid abnormalities as a function of adiposity rather than SDB. Therefore, we aimed to examine associations between circulating adipokines levels, insulin resistance, and measures of SDB in children.
