Studies addressing the relationship between obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and sympathoadrenal activity have been criticized for poor control of factors known to confound sympathetic function, including hypertension. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between OSA and urinary catecholamines, in a population-based sample of hypertensive mates.In 1994, 2,668 males aged 40-79 yrs answered a questionnaire regarding sleep disorders and somatic diseases. Of those who reported hypertension, an age-stratified sample of 116 was selected for monitoring of breathing during sleep and overnight urine analysis.Subjects with OSA, defined as apnoea-hypopnoea index greater than or equal to 10(.)h(-1), had higher concentrations of urinary normetanephrine (182 +/- 57 versus 141 +/- 45 mumol(.)mol(-1) creatinine, p
