Obstructive Sleep Apnea without Obesity Is Common and Difficult to Treat: Evidence for a Distinct Pathophysiological Phenotype.

Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine - 15 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To determine the proportion and physiological characteristics of nonobese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and their response to prescribed therapy. METHODS: Data from 163 consecutive in-laboratory diagnostic sleep studies for participants referred to an academic teaching-hospital sleep clinic for suspected OSA were assessed. Sleep and anthropometric parameters at baseline and...
