2. 6. Sleep-disordered breathing in women : Associations with cardiovascular disease and the significance of sleep apnea during REM sleep

   Author : Mirjam Ljunggren; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Eva Svanborg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstructive sleep apnea; REM sleep; cardiovascular disease; heart failure; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Abstract : Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but it is unclear which elements of SDB that are most harmful to the cardiovascular system and whether the associations observed in men also apply to women.Aim: To investigate associations between different aspects of SDB and cardiovascular disease in womenMethods and results: All four papers were based on participants in “Sleep and Health in Women” (SHE), a population-based cohort study of women.

4. 7. Obesity, Sleep and Sleep-disordered Breathing

   Author : Andreas Palm; Eva Lindberg; Christer Janson; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sleep; Obesity; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Background: Sleep problems are associated with impaired quality of life and daytime sleepiness. Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), are associated with metabolic changes and an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

   Author : Ola Sunnergren; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Jan Hedner; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder, especially in populations with cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately most cases with OSA remain undiagnosed. READ MORE

6. 9. Ventilation and Lung Volume During Sleep and in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

   Author : Jonas Appelberg; Göran Hedenstierna; Christer Janson; Karl Franklin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; Sleep; Ventilation; Sleep apnea syndromes; Snoring; Lung volume; Respiration; Computed tomography; Ventilatory response; Ventilation-perfusion; Airway closure; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi; klinisk fysiologi; Clinical Physiology;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appears to affect up to 5% of the population. The extent to what pulmonary function awake and during sleep relates to obstructive breathing and hypoxemia during sleep in these patients is unclear. READ MORE

7. 10. Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Women : Risk Factors, Signs and Consequences

   Author : Malin Svensson; Eva Lindberg; Mats Holmström; Ludger Grote; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : snoring; sleep apnea; women; general population; risk factors; daytime sleepiness; inflammation; pharynx;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring, apneas and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Obesity is a risk factor for snoring and sleep apnea, but data on other factors in relation to obesity are ambiguous. Symptoms of sleep apnea in women have not been fully elucidated. READ MORE
