    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

  4. 2. Snoring and sleep apnea : A study of evolution and consequences in a male population

    Author : Eva Lindberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Snoring; sleepiness; sleep apnea; epidemiology; hypertension; mortality; evolution; population-based; prospective; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring, repeated apneas during sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). The available data suggest that there is a relationship between OSAS and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but the results diverge. READ MORE

  5. 3. Psychometric aspects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

    Author : Martin Ulander; Eva Svanborg; Anders Broström; Göran Kecklund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic disorder consisting of episodes with impaired breathing due to obstruction of the upper airways. Treatment with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a potentially effective treatment, but adherence is low. Several potential factors affecting adherence, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Treatment outcome, psychiatric aspects, neuropsychology and quality of life

    Author : Pia Dahlöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obstructive sleep apnea syndrome; uvulopalatopharyngoplasty; oxygen desaturation index; psychiatric morbidity; depression; dexamethasone suppression test; verbal learning and recall; executive functions; quality of life; spouses; long-term follow-up;

    Abstract : Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by snoring and apneas during sleep leading to oxygen desaturation, sleep fragmentation and excessive daytime sleepiness. Prior reports have indicated that psychiatric morbidity associated with sleep apnea might be reversed by intervention correcting the sleep related breathing disorder. READ MORE
