Abstract Introduction : OSA is associated with cognitive and physical dysfunctions, contributing to impaired QOL. The influence of professional activity is however not yet clarified and certain professional categories could have more disturbed QOL. Aim : Evaluation of differences in impairment of QOL (SF-36) in workers and employees. Effect of CPAP and compliance was also taken into account. Patients: 120 OSA patients (33 workers, 87 employees) (Age 48 ± 9, 48± 9; BMI 33 ± 6, 30 ± 5; AHI 64 ± 27, 52 ± 32). Results (Mean±SD): both groups demonstrated decreased SF36-scores. Significant differences were found for PERCEP: employees perceived better health than workers. After 1 y CPAP improvement of all items was observed, although the difference in PERCEP between the groups persisted (64±20, 72±21, p=0.05). Objective CPAP compliance was comparable in both groups. Conclusions : The disturbed QOL in OSA patients and the benefit and use of CPAP is unrelated to their professional activity (except for PERCEPT).
