Background: Sleep apnea has been described as a sleep breathing disorder, which in recent years has been gaining importance being considered as a chronic pathology with a high burden of disease, its study will allow to fill the gaps in existing knowledge to achieve better prevention, diagnosis and treatment that impact on the quality of life of patients. Objective: To establish the association between sociodemographic and clinical factors in adult patients diagnosed with sleep apnea by polysomnography in sleep laboratory health prescriber institution (IPS) in city of Ibagué - Colombia. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study where the relationship between sociodemographic and clinical variables and the outcome of sleep apnea was explored, by obtaining the p value of the Chi-square test of independence and Odds Ratio (OR) with subsequent adjustment by Mantel-Haenszel method (MH). Results: A sample of n=128 patients selected by simple randomized sampling was analyzed, of which 79.7% (n = 102) presented sleep apnea and 54.7% (n = 70) were women, the minimum age of the participants was 18 years and the maximum was 86 years with an average of 54.5 years, 53.9% (n = 69) had arterial hypertension and 42.2% (n = 54) had both overweight and obesity. It was found that participants older than 55 years presented sleep apnea more frequently than younger ones with an OR of 4.86 (95%CI: 1.72 - 13.73), the rest of the variables did not present statistically significant differences, and for the sample evaluated it was found that the Berlin questionnaire presented a sensitivity of 74.51% and a specificity of 38.46% for the diagnosis of sleep apnea compared to polysomnography. Conclusion: It is necessary to expand in future studies through longitudinal observations in order to establish a clear association regarding the protective and risk factors that are mostly related to sleep apnea.
