- W247562347 abstract "Obesity is the most important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). But OSAS may also be present in nonobese patients, particularly within certain groups, such as Asians or children. In nonobese patients, the craniofacial anatomy, such as a reduced anteroposterior dimension of the face, or adenotonsillar hyperplasia, are the main risk factors for OSAS. In obese patients, a higher collapsibility of the pharynx is caused directly by peripharyngeal fat and indirectly by reduced tracheal traction due to abdominal fat. Obese patients with OSAS are characterized by a higher degree of oxyhemoglobin desaturation than nonobese patients due to elevated oxygen consumption and impaired breathing. There is an additive negative effect of OSAS and obesity on cardiovascular risk. While weight reduction is important for the obese, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for obese and nonobese patients. Positional therapy, oral devices, and pharyngeal surgery can be beneficial in treating OSAS in certain cases, but these approaches are less effective in obese patients." @default.
