Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)is a serious type of sleep disorder that can lead to cardiometabolic and neurocognitive diseases.We utilized smart device-based photoplethysmography technology to collect sleep data from the Chinese population from 2019 to 2022.Distributed lag nonlinear models combined with a generalized nonlinear model or a linear mixed effects model were used to investigate the short-term associations between daily temperature and indicators of OSA severity.We included a total of 6,232,056 d of sleep monitoring data from 51,842 participants with moderate to severe risk of OSA from 313 Chinese cities.The relationships between ambient temperature and OSA exacerbation,apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),and minimum oxygen saturation(MinSpO2)were almost linear and present only on the same day.Higher temperatures were associated with a greater risk of OSA exacerbation,with an 8.4%(95%confidence interval(CI):7.6%-9.3%)increase per 10 ℃ increase in temperature.A 10 ℃ increase in daily temperature corresponded to an AHI increase of 0.70 events/h(95%CI:0.65-0.76)and a MinSpO2 decrease of 0.18%(95%CI:0.16%-0.19%).Exposure to elevated temperatures during the night can also lead to adverse effects.The effects of higher temperatures on OSA severity were stron-ger among men,participants with a body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m2,those aged 45 years and older,indi-viduals with a history of hypertension and diabetes,and during the cold season.This large-scale,nationwide,longitudinal study provides robust evidence suggesting that higher ambient temperatures mav immediately worsen OSA.
