Purpose: This study was performed to identify risk levels of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults aged 40 years and older and factors associated with health-related quality of life in high-risk group of OSA. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional, correlational design using secondary data from the eighth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The 3,906 data were analyzed with aged 40 years and older. The risk level of OSA is measured STOP-Bang and health-related quality of life is measured with HINT-8 index. The total score of STOP-Bang ranges from 0 to 8. The closer the HINT-8 index score is to 1, the better health-related quality of life. Data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, 2-test, and linear regression with SPSS/WIN 27.0 software. Results: The participants’ score of the STOP-Bang was 2.27. The low risk group of OSA was 60.2% and high risk group 39.8%. The score of health-related quality of life was 0.81 in low risk group and 0.79 in high-risk group. The sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, education level, household income) and health-related characteristics (smoking, walking, strength training, subjective health status, perceived stress, anxiety) were associated with health-related quality in high-risk group. These factors explained about 42% of the health-related of quality in high-risk group of OSA (R2=0.42, F=42.25, p＜.001). Conclusion: Sociodemographic and health-related behavior factors should be considered in the development of nursing interventions to increase health- related quality of life in high-risk adults for OSA.
