Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) consists of repetitive choking spells due to sleep-induced reduction of upper airway muscle tone. Millions of adults and children live unaware of this condition, which can have a profound affect on their health and quality of life. Obesity, gender, genetic, and ...
Obstructive sleep apnea:OSA involves complete airway obstruction during sleep despite normal breathing efforts. This has widespread effects on the body, particularly negative cardiovascular and metabolic effects, likely mediated by systemic inflammation. These effects contribute to insulin resistance, dyslipidemi...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep‐disordered breathing. It is characterized by recurrent partial or complete obstruction of the upper airways during sleep, which leads to repetitive episodes of reduction (hypopnea) or absence of airflow (apnea) and intermittent hypoxia...
Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ( OSAS ) is a common disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and repetitive upper airway obstruction episodes during sleep. Clinically, obesity is a major risk factor for developing OSAS . However, OSAS has been associated with hormonal and met...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinical condition characterized by recurrent episodes of complete obstruction (apnea) or partial obstruction (hypopnea) of the upper airway, leading to increased negative intrathoracic pressure, sleep fragmentation, and intermittent hypoxia during sleep (1). Research ...
Obesity in childhood and adolescence is associated with an increased risk of adult obesity and clinically significant consequences affecting the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. Importantly, obesity is additionally complicated by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), occurring in up to 60% of obese children...
