FIELD: medicine, pulmonology, cardiology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the above, also to respiratory sleep medicine. Clinical anthropometry is performed in a patient with obstructive apnea-hypopnea, by identifying age, body mass index, neck and waist circumference. Then, using the original calculation formula, the sum (z) of the numerical values of the features multiplied by the discriminant coefficient of the feature is calculated: -0.076605 for age, -0.063284 for body mass index, 0.59429 for neck circumference, 0.031883 for waist circumference, all added to a constant of -22.95132. The probability of visceral obesity in a patient with obstructive apnea-hypopnea is calculated according to the well-known formula 
, where e is the base of the natural logarithm = 2.71828947…, and z is the sum of the numerical values of each of the signs. The value of the probability of visceral obesity in a patient with obstructive apnea-hypopnea is obtained, by the value of which the risk of cardiovascular complications is predicted. With a probability value of 50% or higher, the risk of visceral obesity in a patient with obstructive apnea-hypopnea with subsequent development of cardiovascular complications is predicted; with a probability value below 50%, the risk of developing visceral obesity in a patient with obstructive apnea-hypopnea is low.
EFFECT: method makes it possible to determine probability of visceral obesity in patient with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea by limited number of clinical anthropometric signs, which, individually and in combination, have high sensitivity and specificity.
