  • There is strong evidence for an association of sleep apnoea with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity, as well as adverse public health consequences. (ersjournals.com)
  • It should be directed to address possible associated conditions including obstructive sleep apnea and keratoconus and other morbidity consequences of obesity and obstructive sleep apnea. (aao.org)
  • Not surprisingly, several large studies are examining the effect of anti-obesity drugs, both old (e.g. sibutramine) and new (e.g. rimonabant), on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (drsharma.ca)
Upper1
  • Supportive measures such as ocular lubrication and temporary antihistamine in addition to prevention of the upper lid from everting during sleep by taping the eye or eye shield can be effective in solving the patient's complaints temporarily. (aao.org)
Consequences1
  • Sleep-disordered breathing has major socioeconomic consequences for the individual patient and for society. (nih.gov)
CPAP2
Breathing5
  • In REM sleep respiratory events are more durable and present a major decrease in the oxygen saturation which usually returns to its basal values followed by the normal recuperation of breathing. (scirp.org)
  • Complete closure can lead to apnea while partial closure allows breathing but decrease the intake of oxygen (hypopnea). (medlineplus.gov)
  • Has anyone OBSERVED you stop breathing during your sleep? (medscape.com)
  • This category of sleep disordered breathing is currently defined as complex sleep apnoea syndrome (CompSAS) [ 5 ]. (ersjournals.com)
  • have sleep apnea, your breathing stops repeatedly while you're sleeping. (cdc.gov)

Abdominal obesity2
  • The IG improved abdominal obesity ( p = 0.016), blood pressure ( p = 0.030), and triglyceride ( p = 0.005) more than the CG did. (ophrp.org)
  • According to the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III), MetS is defined as having three or more of the following: abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, elevated triglyceride, and decreased highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level [4] .
